Search a Specific Folder in Mac Mail?

Is there a way to search for messages in a specific folder in Mac Mail?

For example, if I wanted to search for a message sent to a given email address in the Sent folder (only).

Something like this: Search: to:example@gmail.com folder:sent

Thanks.

Search I am finding the Search facilities in Apple Mail increasingly useful. I have stored many of my read emails in On my Mac in folders and sub-folders. How can I search within One my Mac? Regards Nick

When searching MacMail, emails that met the search criteria identified in a column which mailbox they were in. For some reason the Ventura version of Mac Mail seems to have dropped that feature. Anyone know how to get it back? When searching MacMail, emails that met the search criteria identified in a column which mailbox they were in.
