I've often wondered how to use Windows Search Filters. The available documentation is extremely limited, but its potential uses are quite large.
When I type something, the only search filters I see are "Date modified" and "Size". Googling shows me a few other options that, sometimes, work. Every time I try to use it I'm pondering "what search filters can I use, and what options does each filter support?". Anybody any idea where to find an extensive list or how to configure Search to give me a dropdown of the possibilities?
To find something, I always go back to a command prompt. I'd like to think I can do otherwise.
Instead of "Search Filters", the keywords/phrase you're actually looking for is "Advanced Query Syntax".
As always, MSDN is the place to turn to for further help and details:
BTW, if you need a far better search utility with RegEx support, try AstroGrep or Everything.
