How to search in multiple directories in Atom editor

I have several folders in my project as the sample structure below.

parent-directory
 | sub-directory-1
 | sub-directory-2
 | sub-directory-3
 | ....
 | sub-directory-n

While searching for a string in all the files in the parent-directory using Atom editor, it takes a lot of time to fetch the results.

But if the search is limited to a particular folder like 'parent-directory/sub-directory-n' the search time gets reduced considerably.

Now the challenge is that I'm unable to search inside specific folders at once. I tried all the different combinations below, but nothing seems to be working fine.

parent-directory/sub-directory-1;parent-directory/sub-directory-2
parent-directory/sub-directory-1+parent-directory/sub-directory-2
parent-directory/sub-directory-1,parent-directory/sub-directory-2

Please let me know if there is such an option available in the Atom editor.

The issue is your are using the parent directory name also. You need to use the child and path in there. See below screenshot

Multi directory search

As you can see I am able to search multiple directory. But I don't use the main folder insomnia in my path
