This is not the nicest way to do it, but this does the job.

*Warning* Untested code:
<dtml-in portal_catalog.searchResults(criteria)>
  <dtml-if "getPath()=='your/path/'">
   do this
  <dtml-else>
   do that
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

You can also call a python script which does the filtering:

PythonScript: filter_results
Parameter List: brains

import string
for brain in brains:
  path = brain.getPath()
  if string.split(path,'/')[-2]!= 'your_folder': # to remove those you don't
want
    continue
  # Otherwise do stuff with it and return something

Then you can call it from a dtml method:

 <dtml-let brains="portal_catalog.searchResults(criteria)">
  <dtml-return "filter_results(brains)">
</dtml-let>

I can't think of way to avoid checking all the brains before filtering (b/c
the path is not stored in the portal_catelog).

Cheers,
Karim
