Re: how to return all search result in file search opration

Hello and welcome to our forums,

In order to achieve that, I believe the best approach would be to have 3 different searches, since each "TestFolder" is in a different location.

Could you please give me some more details about why you would need to have all three results in one search?

Best regards,

Hello,

Even though the folder has the same name, since the location is different, please note that we will need to create a separate search for each folder, e.g.:
MultipleSearch.png
MultipleSearch.png (66.93 KiB) Viewed 4627 times

As you can see in the above screenshot, a search is needed for each ID.

If you want to have all the results in a single property, then a Custom Action might be required, although I believe it would be better just having a different search.
