As search teams say that she look
Seeking files or folders, you can use the following criteria (singly or in
various combinations):
* Name * Date of last change * File type * File Size * The contents of the file
It should be noted that by using a combination of criteria Find program selects
only those facilities that meet all the criteria of the search. Council
After the search program Find "remembers" specified search criteria, in case you
want to use them again. If you intend to start the search from scratch, click on
the Reset button. In this case, you certainly will not search criteria, which
survived from last time. Search by name
To find an object by its name, click on the tab name and location (if it's not
already selected tab), and enter your name in the Name text box. If the name has
been used, you may not enter it from the keyboard and select from the drop-down
list.
Searches can be made, even without knowing exactly as written in your desired
object. If you know any of it, enter its name in the text box, and the German
Find all objects in the name of a data string. For example, if you enter the
word sale, the program will find the names of "The sale of 1 Neighborhood," "The
volume of sales for Quarter 2," "forecast sales, sales managers and sales tax."
Characters template. Symbol template is a special sign indicating one or more
characters name. MS-DOS veterans will remember how they had to use symbols
template viewing the contents of directories, and likely will be happy to know
that the programme Find uses the same special features. The program recognizes
two characters template, "*" and "?" .
Question mark supersedes any single character. For example, line 199?
this allows you to find files and folders, the title of which is a year from
1990 to 1999, as well as all facilities in whose names will be found consistency
199, which is any other character. Asking search criteria, you can specify such
question marks as necessary.
Asterisk denotes a character or characters. For example, search template 1 * 4
may include: 123r4, 1994, 1024, etc. Star is most often used to get a list of
all files with the same extension. For example, to find all files XLS, in line
name, type *. xls
If you write xls without star, in addition to the expanded XLS files are found
objects, in which the title character sequence "xls". Another way to search for
objects with the same expansion is the use of test file type, but this method is
applicable only to the registered types of files. To find facilities, expansion
is not included in the registry, a better way than the use of templates, not
stuff.
* The fact that such a register, you can read the section "Using the list of
file types"
Search by date of last modification
If you want to use as search criteria date of the last modification of the file,
click on the tab change date (Figure 7-3). Please note that the search will be
among the files that have been created or changed for some time.
Criterion search by the date change is often used in conjunction with other
criteria. For example, if you want to find all Microsoft Word documents that
have been created or changed in the past seven days, select Microsoft Word
Document in evolving list Advanced tab (see "Search for the file type"), then
set the criterion " over the past seven days' on the change date. For a final
test, click on the switch "for the last day (of the day, days), and with a meter
of seven.
Please note that the search of, the contents of which changed in the last n days,
recorded the previous day n and the current day. For example, if you have to
find all files modified in the last one day, from a list of files, as corrected
by yesterday and today. Search the file type
To find any file type or restrict search folders, click on the Advanced tab.
This will display a dialog box, shown in Fig. 7-4.
As shown in Fig. 7-4, in the default search criteria All files and folders. In
order to limit the search files the same type Expand the list and select the
desired type. Please note that the list contains a number of general categories
of files, as well as registered in the registry types. For example, to search
programmes should be chosen line application, but in order to find a folder,
excluding the documents and programs, you need to use the element Folder, etc.
Search by file size
If you want to find files that are larger than a certain size or smaller, click
on the Advanced tab. To display a dialog box, shown in Fig. 7-4. Expand the list
entitled Size, and select one of two options: "not less than" or "no more". If
you want to find files, which is less than some value, select the "no more".
Otherwise, use the "least". Choice, enter the desired number in the text box K
bytes or set it with a meter. Search the file on its content
To find files containing a certain text, click on the Advanced tab and enter it
in the Search text. Please note that this text is literally the template and
characters are not used. In addition, it should be noted that the search for
their content is much longer than search by name, date change, type or size. To
avoid unnecessarily long quest try to determine as accurately as possible the
criteria limiting the number of viewed files. For example, to find Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets that contain a number or phrase, it makes sense to limit the
type Excel sheets, and when all the files are stored in one folder, select its
name in the text box folder.
How do contextual search sensitive characters. A default mode contextual search
program is not draws attention to the characters register. If you know how the
original text string, make contextual search sensitive. To do this, select
Settings sensitive. After that the team will be in front of the box, indicating
that the next search operation will be sensitive characters.
If you turn the mode contextual search based capital letters, all subsequent
searches will be made in this mode until you do not cancel. Although this option
can be switched directly in the search for the new plant to have effect only in
the subsequent search operation. Search network server
If you want to find a particular network computer, right-click on the Network
Neighborhood icon and select Find computer. Or go to the Main menu command
search, and then, on the page-Computer. In both cases, you will see a dialog box
shown in Fig. 7-5.
Please note that the window Find computer does not contain the text box folder,
because as it is considered that, wishing to find a server, you will see the
entire network. Search Results
As the search results appear in the bottom window. Needless window with the rise
and appears as shown in Fig. June 7. In this window, you can work with found
objects in the same way as in the usual folder window. For example, clicking on
the column heading (name, folder, size, etc.), you can change the order in which
names appear found objects, or may, for example, take command from the View menu
to switch from the default mode see Table in any other mode. You can also click
on any of the right mouse button and select Properties to see its properties, or
look at him with rapid view (of course, provided that the system has a program
viewing this type of file). In addition, the facility can be opened by double
click or look at the Desktop (or folder) to copy, move or create a shortcut.
In addition, the menu File Search dialog box contains a very useful command,
which is not in the usual folder window: Open the folder containing object. If
you select an object and run this command, open the Windows folder, which stores
the site.

Saving search results
If you want to save queries for future use criteria, select File Save command
search terms. To save and criteria and the results, then you should first check
the box Preserve results Settings, and then the command Save the search. In

icon on the Desktop and appoint him by default name. For example, if you search
all folders, in which the names of the word "personal", and then save the
results, the icon that appears on the screen, will be called something like:
Files type folder named personal. Because of the default names are usually
obtained long and not very informative (they, for example, do not describe the
search criteria by date), it makes sense to give a new icon, a name that you are
satisfied. This can be done by clicking on the icon, right-click and select

the Main Menu or from the menu of the folder. This icon represents normal, which
can copy or move the same way as any other. You can even create a label for it.
To reuse the search criteria do double-clicking on its icon, and click on the
Find button.
