Search results in google drive now include extra search controls.
From these controls you can quickly trim down your results.
You can even restrict the search to the current map.
This seems obvious, but this was so long in the waiting.
In the drive controls next to the search box, you can only select the search location by navigating to it from the root (independent of the map where your currently are).
For unclear reasons Google Drive does not support copying folders.
Workaround 1: copy the folders in your local Google Drive desktop environment and everything will be synced to your drive.
This does however not work for folders containing Google docs. Your desktop only has a link to the real thing that resides in the cloud. Local copying does not work on those links.
Workaround 2:
Using the SHIFT-Z shortcut on a file or folder, you can add it to another folder as a link
To remove the link from a location, go to the details of the file/folder. You will see that it has multiple locations. You can remove one of the locations here.

My major gripe with google drive was that you could not search withing a folder. As Google drive contains nearly all my stuff, the noise was so high that search was all but useless. Hard to understand that a company who's core business is search could not provide this. So I needed to use windows limited search on my locally synced files.
Then today, I noticed the in folder search feature had sneaked in.
Yahoo! Kudo's to Google!
Blogger supports including images from Picassa, but when you include an image as a share link from Google drive, this seems to work initially, but the converted link does not work anymore after a while. So, you end up, saving your images twice in google storage.
