Please include the option to exclude Folders using search under Location -> File name:
Suggestion: "Exclude Folders" check box next to "Regular Expression"

Workaround:
- The second tab Timestamp/Size/Attr
- Profiles tab, to create a profile with folders excluded

Try to use Regular expression filter:
\*docs include *docs folders
-\*temp exclude *temp folders

Thank U all for replies.
Please elaborate further in detail. Step by step process.
Workaround:
- The second tab Timestamp/Size/Attr
- Profiles tab, to create a profile with folders excluded
Confirming:
- I am assuming empty box "Directory" Attr. or size greater than zero.
- No idea how to create a Profile with folder excluded.
Try to use Regular expression filter:
\*docs include *docs folders
-\*temp exclude *temp folders
Questions:
- Web Link to
Regular expression filter: syntax ?
- Parameters to search in Help (F1) ?
~ Thank U ! ~ Best Wishes

OK, so it's not so easy, but I found the way to create profile with folders excluded:
- open search dialog
- clear the search in - Folders field
- go to Timestamp.. tab
- click twice the [x] Folder checkbox to clear it
- now go to Profiles tab
- create new profile using the first mini button (green plus icon)
- type the profile name and press Enter
You can also go to menu > options > and enable the option "Activate profiles tab first".
Then close the search dialog. Next time you want to search files only, go to desired folder, open search dialog, select the profile (if you have just one, it's already selected), press Enter or click the Find button, then - if needed, type the searched file in the "File name" field and press Enter.
If you want to search all files, then you can just press Ctrl+F and press Enter twice.

- click twice the [x] Folder checkbox to clear it
I cannot find the Folder Checkbox under attributes

I do have a
Directory Checkbox that seems to work.
Question: How to insert a jpg ? Is there a way to post jpg from my drive ? [img] is a redirect to an image.
~ Thank U ~

Yes, it's a "Directory", sorry, I think it should be a "Folder", even if it's almost the same. It has 3 states, on / off / on+off.
Please check the screenshot, click several times to get the same state, it should work...
You can use any free image upload site and post a link here, use google to find some.
