Search and Smart search from a folder

This seems a very helpful function or range of functions.

I had to search for som TIF files knowing the tree but not the branch.

Doing a smart search direct from the folder at base of the tree return
results very quickly on an input of d*.tif

I reckon as far as user functionality goes it is a very pleasant ddition
to an operating system

Re: Search and Smart search from a folder

In win XP pro sp2, from windows explorer there was a right click search
function that accomplished pretty much the same thing
