Using advanced search options

Search can find files meeting more criteria than file name. You can narrow your search by selecting the search options that you want. You can search by the:

•Name or part of a name

•Creation date

•Modification date

•File type

•Tag

•Author

•Text contained in the file

•Time period in which it was created or modified

You can also combine search criteria to refine searches.

Files and folders found using this utility can be opened, copied, cut, renamed, or deleted directly from the list in the results window.

Browsing for files and folders

A file or folder that you need is rarely right on top of your Windows desktop. It is usually on a drive inside a folder that may be inside yet another folder, and so on.

Windows drives, folders, and files are organized in the same way as a real file cabinet in that they may have many levels (usually many more levels than a file cabinet, in fact). So you usually will have to search through levels of folders to find the file or folder that you need. This is called browsing.

To browse for a file:

1Click (Start), then click Computer. The Computer window opens.

2Double-click the drive or folder that you think contains the file or folder that you want to find.

3Continue double-clicking folders and their subfolders until you find the file or folder you want.

Help

For more information about browsing for files and folders, click Start, then click Help and Support. Type files and folders in the Search Help box, then press ENTER.
