How to Exclude Folder Names from the indexing process or from the Results Panel in a CDS Search?

When we do a search, as a standard, our main objective is to find a certain string in the names of files or included in their content and not in the Name of a Folder (with rare exceptions)!

I verify that in the CDS, doing a simple search, with a certain string, in the main search field, the CDS returns results for both Files and Folders.

QUESTION

==========

Is there any simple way to:

i) do not index the Folder Name

or, ideally

ii) do a search where the results only return the File Name/Content?

(folder names are excluded!)

Thank you

I see Tony from Technical Support responded via our ticketing system. I have copy/pasted his advice below:

To only search in a filename, use the first example below in the main search of Copernic, and for file content only use the 2nd example below.

@filename =

(ex. @filename = house)

@content =

(ex. @content = chair)

Thank you very much for your helpful answer Phillippe :)

I did not realise that @FileFolder could be used like this

I have read and read again since your post - the document at the end of your link = Refine a search with advanced categories operators

I missed this because the example refer only to using this in the context of restricting document search to a specific folder

Can this article be updated please to demonstrate this useful extra functionality that is probably hidden from most of your cutomers!

For those who are looking for a folder and know part of the folder name, you can use @filefolder
For example @filefolder = logo will return all results where there is a folder containing that word.
You can find more of these in this article.

This is helpful - and sometimes, I just want to find out where is the folder

So how to search by Only the Folder Name?
