To limit which folders are searched your best option is to use location filters, e.g. add +wf- to the Look In field:

Look In: C:\code\UKi;-node_modules;+wf-

If you need to use the File name field to restrict the search based on the folder name you can match the whole path name against the File name field by checking the option Include folder path in file name search:
