What are Filters?
Filters allow you to search for specific file extensions or folders within specific folders using an extra query.
How to use Filters?
Type the filter keyword followed by a colon :. It can appear anywhere in the search query.
Example
Search for a folder with Listary as part of its name:
folder: ListaryListary folder:
Use a colon : to be recognized as a "filter".
There must be a space between the search query and the "filter".
