Searching down multiple folders in Media Browser

Question

Is there a way to do it? From what I'm finding, you can only search within whatever folder you're in, no further down the directory. I need to pull a number of specific clips from different folders and it's taking forever and I know it doesn't need to.

It's not possible from within the Media Browser window, as far as I know, James ...

Possible workarounds:

If your search parameters are always the same then you could set up operating system level Smart Folders/Save Searches to preselect the files you'll need... then you can access those folders through Premiere's Media Browser window.

Otherwise, maybe try using Premiere's "File > Import" method for this particular situation instead? On a Mac, that uses a standard OS X "open" window, so you can make use of the general search tool embedded in that window. Or you could import using 'Drag and Drop' to bring files directly into your project from a Finder window (Mac) or File Explorer window (Windows). That method would allow you make use of the operating system's built in search tools, to display only the files you want/need.

Hope it helps
