If you want to filter on a property that doesn't appear when
you click in the search box, you can use special keywords. This
typically involves typing a property name followed by a colon, sometimes
an operator, and then a value. The keywords aren't case sensitive.
| Example search term | Use this to find |
|---|---|
System.FileName:~<"notes"
|
Files whose names begin with "notes." The < means "begins with."
|
System.FileName:="quarterly report"
|
Files named "quarterly report." The = means "matches exactly."
|
System.FileName:~="pro"
|
Files whose names contain the word "pro"
or the characters pro as part of another word (such as "process" or
"procedure"). The ~= means "contains."
|
System.Kind:<> picture
|
Files that aren't pictures. The <> means "is not."
|
System.DateModified:05/25/2010
|
Files that were modified on that date. You can also type
"System.DateModified:2010" to find files changed at any time during
that year.

System.Author:~!"herb"
|
Files whose authors don't have "herb" in their name. The ~! means "doesn't contain."
