The more you read and work with windows 7 (and windows vista for those still out there) the more you start to find the little things that make it great.
One of the features I have re-discovered is the advanced search and filter in explorer.
I’m a real command line geek and one of the things file explorer could never do for me is give me a great way to search and filter through files untill i know found the search documents field.
In every file explorer you have the Search Documents that gives you a very rich search syntax.
< Field>:<Value>
Lets try some examples: name:Pictures
Lets try some examples: size:<field>
When typing in a field you can set your own value or choose one of the auto completion values.
After completing a search string you can also see the interface gives you option to select additional fields.
a somewhat more complex string could look like:
size:<200 and type:.csv or type:.jpg and not name:H
