Google-drive – How to limit Team Drive search to a single team drive

google-drivegoogle-shared-drivegoogle-workspacesearch

I'm trying to search for files with a particular term in a single specific team drive. But when I search, I get hundreds of results across 15 different team drives, most of which aren't the one I am looking for.

I tried adding "owner:" to the search, but then nothing was found. This isn't right, because in the first few pages of results I see that there are files that match in the team drive I specified.

So how can I limit my search?
