Description of the new feature / enhancement

Option to customize the folders that are searched in Run. Specifically, I'd like to be able to restrict the search to folders pinned in Quick Access or to those located in OneDrives. One of my Quick Access folders is called "Active", but some playlist file elsewhere takes priority.

Scenario when this would be used?

Rapidly opening desired folders without filtering through seemingly random results.

@mykhailopylyp is it possible to query from Quick Access? This may only be internal to File Explorer

No, it is not possible. The Windows Search doesn't support Quick Access indexing as it is not a folder per se.

Even if this does not synchronize with Quick Access, any customization would be huge.

Thank you for working on this app, it has been really useful!
