Can I add my own tabs to the search bar in Finder?

When I do a Spotlight search and choose "Show all in Finder..."

it will show results from This Mac. If I click "Desktop" it will search desktop only.

Is it possible I can add my own custom tabs to this bar, just like the "Desktop" tab?

Mac mini, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)
