Hi There,

Does anybody know how I can filter the search criteria in Sharepoint to only search for folders? Our current set-up for files in Sharepoint is folders pertaining to particular accounts we have, then the year we uploaded certain files and such. So basically Folder-Folder-Folder-File. We have a big list of folders when beginning to search and currently when we search only files will show up. Any help appreciated.

Thanks again

    @Linus Kujava

    Based on your description, I understand that you want to only search folders in the document library in the SharePoint Online.

    You could use IsDocument:0 in the search query.
