A not-so-commonly known feature available to all users is our Quick Folder Search. If your Workspace has complex folder tree paths that you don't know all of the nitty gritty details of, then using this search feature should help to quickly get you to your destination in a flash.
This search mirrors our Global Search functionality but will return up to 10 relevant folders based on your search criteria.
Smart Results: We prioritize folders that most closely match your search terms.
Precise Matching: One or two-word searches find exact matches. For three or more words, we’ll show folders containing at least half of your terms.
Character Limits: To keep searches fast, the system indexes up to 20 characters of any continuous string. This could be the first 20, the last 20, or any other set of 20 characters in the middle.
Advanced Tools: Use "quotes" for exact phrases, or use AND / OR modifiers to refine your results.
Steps to Complete Quick Folder Search
To conduct a Quick Folder Search, please make sure that you have the folder panel open. You can do this by clicking the 'Open Panel' icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.

And that's it! Sweet and simple to get you to your destination as quickly as possibly.
However, if you are unable to find the folder that you are looking for, you can also conduct a search using the search bar at the top of the dashboard with more filters to find your desired folder.
