Comment 47 for bug 646724

Some files opened from that folder and below do show up. It is the project folder itself that cannot be retrieved through the file lens. In some cases, there is a need to organize related files in folders. Easy access to the folder would then be a benefit. The "Files & Folders" lens could be very useful to easily retrieve folder just by typing part of the name. Working on different project, it is not always practical to remember the exact name of a document (e.g. meeting reports), so one wants to see the folder.

Another issue with how things currently work. There is a subfolder with pictures. Once you've been looking at the pictures, the search term for the folder causes the lens to be flooded with these pictures. Retrieval of e.g. word processing documents using the folder name as search term then becomes very cumbersome.
