MacOS Mail - Search within folders

Is there a way to limit searches in MacOS Mail.app to a single folder (or a single email account)?

Searching the whole database often throws up too many results when I ‘know’ the email should be in a certain folder (though, often my filing isn’t 100%). So it’d be very useful to limit searches to a particular folder (or two). But is this possible?

Yes. Just run the search and then select the mailbox in which you want to see results.

Looks like @ciaran has solved it.

Here’s some tips from Apple should others need the info.
