Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When searching, EverythingPowerToys returns file results, but not folders.

Describe the solution you'd like Search a folder name and have that folder name show up in the results.

Describe alternatives you've considered I use the Everything app to find a folder if I need to find its contents.

Additional context Should be able to search "Downloads" and have that come up in the search results with PowerToys Run image

It does return folder results: image

The issue is how the sorted result is returned, by default, the sort is modified descending, since it's unlikely you modify the folder name, other files are being returned first.

you can change the sort method in settings.toml accordingly image

alternatively, user the folder: filter, which will limit search to folder names. image

Oh great!

Do you know what the default sorting in the Everything app is? Searching for the same thing there is returning the results in a different order:
