You can type in any path, e.g. "~home" to search in User, Addons, System, etc.
If you are really after a productive quality tool with seach as well as syncing with built-in side-by-side comparison, I highly recommend Total Commander http://www.ghisler.com/ it is unsurpassed, and being Windows-only (incl. CE) unfortunately unmatched and terribly missed on other platforms. Search supports Unicode, UTF-8, "files not containing...", limit by size, time, various extended file attributes. It treats many archives as folders for most operations. --- Devon McCormick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, I did not know about that tool.
