Hi @Anonymous,

To search in the specific folder you can specifying full folder path with site: managed property. Like this:

http://{site url}/_api/search/query?querytext='title:{query_text}+site:"{absolute path to folder}"'

Example:

http://server1/_api/search/query?querytext='title:Document*+site:"http:%2f%server1%2fLibrary2%2fFolder3"'
