Searching Google Drive within a specific folder

Question

I am trying to utilize Google Drive as repository for many different types of documents. I have those documents arranged in several different folders.

When I perform a search it seems to search my entire Google Drive account for matching results regardless of the fact that I am currently within a specific folder.

This poses a problem for me as I want to be able to refine my searches to within a given grouping of documents.

If I am searching for documents related to my work, for instance, I don't want documents showing up in my search that are personal, or in my personal directories.

Is there a way to refine my search to only show documents within a specified folder and it's subfolders? I know I can refine the search based on file type and ownership, but that doesn't work for me.

Thanks in advance.

Using the Google Drive SDK, you can perform a search query for <folder_id> in parents.
