Hi thanks for reply.

This is strange. When I type in the following in a separate browser tab, it does load the finance folder directly :

https://psmodernworkplace.sharepoint.com/sites/VasModernWorkplaceTeamsSite/Working%20Documents/Finance/

But neither of the below works when pasting in sharepoint search :

(documentlink:"https://psmodernworkplace.sharepoint.com/sites/VasModernWorkplaceTeamsSite/Working%20Documents/Finance/*")

documentlink:"https://psmodernworkplace.sharepoint.com/sites/VasModernWorkplaceTeamsSite/Working%20Documents/Finance"

All I get is this when i search

Does the signed in user have access to the target site? You must be a member of the site for SharePoint search to work.

Things are different when you run a content search because administrative permissions are used to search the site.
