Mark folders as important their files show up first in search results.

Sometimes I am searching for say a powershell script eg *install*.ps1 which returns hundreds of files, most of which I am not interested in.



I don't want to exclude folders like programData or ProgramFiles as sometimes I am searching these, but I also don't want to have to manually paste in my important folders and do multiple searches.

If I could some how specify important folders eg OneDrive, MyDocuments, Downloads etc with a multiplier and this is multiplied by the column you are filtering on this would be incredible.

Eg I sort by name and there are say 5 file called Install.ps1, it would then show me the install.ps1 files located in MyDocs, Downloads, OneDrive First, then it would show the other folders last.

Eg in this example when sorting by name, how does it know how to order the results?



I assume each entry has an "index" which could then be multiplied by my arbitrary "important folder" multiplier.

Is this possible at all with the current implementation?

A ranking sort is on my TODO list.

For now, please consider:

Omit Results



Everything sorts by Path after sorting by Name.

Awesome. Look forward to it.
