Search by folder name instead of file name in open drawing dialog box

This may have already been asked before, but I can't find any documentation in the forums. When using the find command in the open drawing dialog box, is there a way to search by folder name? Right now the only option available is a "Look in:" drop down menu to try and locate a folder, but our company has an extensive project list and trying to scroll up and down to find the proper project folder can be burdensome. Also searching by file name would be unproductive because our .dwg naming convention for files doesn't include the name of the project.(ie: A-101.dwg).

 

My current work around right now is to just search for a folder using windows explorer, but it would be more helpful if this same feature was available in Autocad.

It doesn't work like that, sorry.
