>= Matches files where the specified property is greater than or equal to the speci-
fied value. For example, the following code matches files where the Size property
is greater than or equal to 10000 bytes:
size:>=10000
< Matches files where the specified property is less than the specified value. For
example, the following code matches music where the Bit Rate property is less
than 128 (bits per second):
bitrate:<128
<= Matches files where the specified property is less than or equal to the specified
value. For example, the following code matches files where the Size property is
less than or equal to 1024 bytes:
size:<=1024
.. Matches files where the specified property is between (and including) two values.
For example, the following code matches files where the Date Modified property is
between and including August 1, 2008 and August 31, 2008:
datemodified:8/1/2008..8/31/2008
* Substitutes for multiple characters. For example, the following code matches
music where the Album property includes the word Hits:
album:*hits
? Substitutes for a single character. For example, the following code matches music
where the Artists property begins with Blu and includes any character in the fourth
position:
artists:blu?
AND (or
+)
Use this operator to match files that meet all of your criteria. For example, the
following code matches pictures where the Date Taken property is later than
January 1, 2009 and the Size property is greater than 1000000 bytes:
datetaken:>1/1/2009 AND size:>1000000
OR Choose this option to match files that meet at least one of your criteria. For
example, the following code matches music where the Genre property is either
Rock or Blues:
genre:rock OR genre:blues
For even more sophisticated searches, you can combine multiple criteria using Boolean
operators:
