That example was my home directory, and all the files were either in my home directory or a subfolder.

Attached is another example from within the root directory a python project 'zprocess', searching for 'py'.

Here is the result of the find command (excluding hidden files and folders):

zprocess $ find . -not -path '*/\.*' -name '*py*' | sort
./doc/conf.py
./run_tests.py
./setup.py
./tests/output_redirection.py
./tests/tests.py
./zprocess/clientserver.py
./zprocess/examples/example_client.py
./zprocess/examples/example_server.py
./zprocess/examples/processclass_example.py
./zprocess/__init__.py
./zprocess/locking/__init__.py
./zprocess/locking/__main__.py
./zprocess/process_class_wrapper.py
./zprocess/process_tree.py
./zprocess/remote/__main__.py
./zprocess/security.py
./zprocess/utils.py
./zprocess/zlog/__init__.py
./zprocess/zlog/__main__.py

As far as I can tell, it is performing search as if 'search in subfolders' option was set to 'On this computer only', even though the preferences interface shows it set to 'never'.

If I search a remote location it appears to correctly limit search to the current directory.
