Please help me to refine code of a simple function

I want to write a simple function, which is to check is there a file in specified dictionary which should use recursive way to check

The function is simple, but my code looks stupid.

Can you help me to refine the code a little bit more beautiful...

private bool SearchFileInFolder(string baseURL, string fileName)
    {
        bool result = true;
        List<string> dictionaries = new List<string>(Directory.GetDirectories(baseURL));
        foreach (string dic in dictionaries)
        {
            if (File.Exists(dic + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + fileName))
                result = false;
            else
                result = SearchFileInFolder(dic, fileName);
        }

        return result;
    }

Can I use Parallel.ForEach to make the function more efficient ? But the function is a recursive function, so ....

You can use this overloaded method:

public static string[] GetFiles(
    string path,
    string searchPattern,
    SearchOption searchOption
)

You can give the option to search in all subdirectories, that way you don't need to do it manually.
