AFAIK, not directly. You can open a selected folder in an Explorer window
by pressing F2, and then run the Windows search from there.

You can write a macro that runs a search of your choice and add it to the
Macro menu. I don't know whether it's possible to run a macro from the
context menu or add a toolbar button that runs a macro, though; it doesn't
