As suggested allready by eMail
i wanna discuse to search in selected folders only.

I have a lot of subfolders.
1 - xxx
2 - xxx
3 - xxx
4 - xxx
5 - xxx
6 - xxx


I wanna select a few folders only:
1 - xxx
2 - xxx
3 - xxx
4 - xxx
5 - xxx
6 - xxx

Than i want to search/find in this selected folders only.
Like in FAR, yes?

The same with selected files and "Search text in files",
this function should work with the selected files only, not with *.* in all files and sub folders.

The same for the suggested "Find in Archives" function,
search in selected archives only.


.

I think, you can do this (the main problem solution). In "Look in:" field just type the folders you want to search in.

2 altap> there can be also function when you've selected some dirs, then pre-fill it into the "Look in:" field.

PS: for files, I must not have it - I'm able to decrease the number of searched files via the extension and/or name, if there's a lot of small files. and for big files I'm using F3 search
But If you will be rewriting Find dialog, think about it, it's not bad.

And that's the solution
