How to Apply Directory Filter to Windows Desktop Search

Hello,

I've just installed Windows Desktop Search on an XP machine. It's nice to
get everything indexed to have instant search result.

As I know often where my files are put under which directory, but just don't
know which file exactly, it would be nice if I can apply directory filter to
the search result. How can I do that?

I suggest you post to a WDS forum.

That would be a lot easier if that forum was available as a newsgroup.

For people who still prefer NNTP to search and post questions (a good
newsreader offers a far better, more personally customizable and especially
FASTER interface), the only choice seems to be microsoft.public.msn.search.

Except if they're French: the French did get a desktop search newsgroup, so
how come the rest of us didn't?
