Searching in Windows 7 can be as simple as typing a few letters in the search box, but there are also advanced searching techniques that you can use. You don't have to know these techniques to search for your files, but they can be helpful depending on where your searching and what you're searching for. Search filters are a new feature in Windows 7 that makes searching for files by their properties such as by author or by file size much more straightforward.
The search box in a folder or library. When you add a search filter, you'll notice that unigue keywords are automatically added to the search box.
These keywords can help you refine your search by narrowing possibilities. You can add multiple search filters to a search, or even mix search filters with standard search terms to further refine your search.
You can use two search filters to search for a picture tagged with "family" that was taken a long time ago. Depending on where you're searching, only certain search filters are available. For example, if you're searching the Documents library, you'll see different search filters than you would in the Pictures library.
You can't specify which search filters you'll see, but you can change the type of file a library is optimized for. This will, in turn, change which search filters are available when searching that library. When searching for a specific file, most people type the file's name in the search box.
But you can also search for a file based on its contents or properties. Type "summer," for example, and it will find files named "sunset in summer. This broad approach to search usually helps you find your file quickly. You can search by any file property. For example, if you know a file's type, you can enter the file extension "JPG" for example in the search box. Or, if you don't know the extension, you can type "document," "picture," or "music" to search for files of a specific kind.
If you want to search more selectively, you can type specific keywords such as "Name:" or "Tag:" in the search box to specify which file property to search. This typically involves typing a property name followed by a colon and then typing a value. Here are some examples of search terms:. Find only files that were modified on that date. You can also type Modified to find files changed at any time during that year. Another way to refine a search is to use Boolean filters to combine search words using simple logic.
Find files that contain both words "tropical" and "island" even if those words are in different places within the file.
Find files that have an attribute less than or earlier than a specific value, such as fewer than 4 MB. You can also specify other sizes, such as KB and GB.
