Find in Files across multiple directories with Notepad++

Question

Is there a way to search within multiple directories in Notepad++ using the Find in Files feature?

I'd like to search the two following locations simultaneously:

C:\Views\
H:\Views\

I've tried combining them with a comma, a semicolon, and a space, but it doesn't seem to work.

If Notepad++ cannot do that, you can try using Sublime Text. It supports searching within multiple directories and the results are shown in a much more user-friendly way.

There's a plug-in that might have supported this, but it's no longer compatible with the Unicode version of NP++: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/SearchInFiles/
