The parent folder name (but not higher parent folders in the path) is indexed as a metadata. With FoxTrot Pro, you can search:
[any metadata or filename] [includes consecutive words] [chemical A]
This should find any file in a folder whose name contains "chemical A", but will also find files whose name or maybe some other metadata attribute contains "chemical A".
You can add a second criterion:
[filename] [does not include consecutive words] [chemical A]
to remove those containing the string in the filename.

Maybe the relevance slider (i.e. "1,000 most relevant items), or another categorization filter, prevent them to be shown?
