I am trying to search TFS 2018 using code search feature for some text (.NET version in this case) in all config files for a given project or path but it only works without path: or proj: scope returning results from entire repository.

For example NETFramework,Version=v ext:config returns results for all config files in entire repository as expected but if I add a path: or proj: scope as well or even remove ext: scope and use only path: or proj: nothing is returned.

Given folder structure similar to this $/Root/A001/Sandbox/user/ProjName how can you use path: or proj: scope to search only within ProjName folder?

None of the code search examples combine scopes. Is that even possible?

Here is some of the stuff I tried and none of it works:

NETFramework,Version=v ext:config path:Root/A001/Sandbox/user/ProjName

NETFramework,Version=v ext:config path:$/Root/A001/Sandbox/user/ProjName

NETFramework,Version=v ext:config path:A001/Sandbox/user/ProjName

NETFramework,Version=v ext:config proj:ProjName

NETFramework,Version=v path:Root/A001/Sandbox/user/ProjName
