Relinking Media Searches Outside of Selected Folder

I am attempting to batch re-link a bunch of offline clips. I’ve never had this issue before.

1. ’use media browser to locate files’ is selected
2. I select locate
3. When I designate a folder to be searched, the search goes to my root drive or a different folder. It does not contain it’s search to the folder I have selected. This is a major issue on relinking media. 

I haven’t tested this with local files, but I am working via Lucid Link for my commercial work.
