+-The **folder:** prefix can be used to search for email message files\r
+-that are contained within particular directories within the mail store.\r
+-If the same email message has multiple message files associated with it,\r
+-it's sufficient for a match that at least one of the files is contained\r
+-within a matching directory. Only the directory components below the\r
+-top-level mail database path are available to be searched.\r
++The **path:** prefix searches for email messages that are in\r
++particular directories within the mail store. The directory must be\r
++specified relative to the top-level maildir (and without the leading\r
++slash). By default, **path:** matches messages in the specified\r
++directory only. The "/\*\*" suffix can be used to match messages in\r
++the specified directory and all its subdirectories recursively.\r
++**path:""** matches messages in the root of the mail store and,\r
++likewise, **path:\*\*** matches all messages.\r
++\r
++The **folder:** prefix searches for email messages by maildir or MH\r
++folder. For MH-style folders, this is equivalent to **path:**. For\r
++maildir, this includes messages in the "new" and "cur"\r
++subdirectories. The exact syntax for maildir folders depends on your\r
++mail configuration. For maildir++, **folder:""** matches the inbox\r
++folder (which is the root in maildir++), other folder names always\r
++start with ".", and nested folders are separated by "."s, such as\r
++**folder:.classes.topology**. For "file system" maildir, the inbox is\r
++typically **folder:INBOX** and nested folders are separated by\r
++slashes, such as **folder:classes/topology**.\r
++\r
++Both **path:** and **folder:** will find a message if *any* copy of\r
++that message is in the specific directory/folder.\r
+ \r
+ The **date:** prefix can be used to restrict the results to only\r
+ messages within a particular time range (based on the Date: header) with\r
