Are you using Everything or Windows Index as your search engine (can be found in the plugin settings)?
I tried using Windows Index before switching to Everything, and it's the same thing in both cases for me. The weird part is that I tried directly searching using the Everything window, and it worked flawlessly; pulled up the target directory immediately.
Would this related to result ordering? We don't associate a score for the result found, which may make the directory result appears relatively at the bottom?
Sadly, it doesn't seem so. That's why this is so weird: the result that one expects, the directory itself, never appears in the list. Random subdirectories that are nested within the desired directory show up, but the directory itself is never listed.
And again, it shows up properly without full completion using Everything.
@taooceros didn't we at some point added searching of the path as well? These irrelevant results do have path matching the search text.

Problem Description
When searching through a tool that indexes both files and folders, it is expected that if you search for a directory and have a match, that it will display as one of the top options.
This is not what happens, however, as no matter what you enter or how you enter your search query, that specific folder that you want will never be listed in the results. It will show random files from nested subdirectories of the directory that you want, but it will never list the directory itself as an item. Because of this, it is physically impossible to search for a specific folder unless you've already added said folder to your Quick Access Links, which ultimately defeats the purpose.
