Ability to start a one-off search of a location not normally indexed - preferably in file explorer context menus but also in the main UI. #534

What it says on the tin.

Also, this would prevent needless indexing if you know exactly which directory tree to search (as it would only need to index that folder tree).

eg, I have a removable drive and those are normally excluded, but I wish to search this particular one once (not normally but this time I do). Or, I know I have a file in my Downloads folder -- I can direct an indexing of that particular folder and subfolders and limit false positives while avoiding the extra time to index all normal locations.

Context menu searches would be amazing as they would allow you to limit the search right from the file browser.

Anywho, just an idea, if you like it great, if not, cool. Thanks for the great program!

Are you talking about #547 ? I just put this feature request and it looks like our issue is sort of similar.

Not quite the same, but yes very similar. You are describing a way to take my suggestion and organize it into categories.

I think that would be good: default, saved categories with their own settings, and custom search

But IDK how hard stuff like this is to code, so who knows.
