CHAPTER 1 Customizing Windows Explorer
Similarly, if you want all the JPEG images that were created today, you’d use the following
query:
jpeg images created today
You can keep adding more properties and values to target your searches. For example, if
we want our Sloan search to return only those songs rated with five stars, we’d modify the
search as follows:
pop music by sloan rating *****
You can still perform Boolean searches in natural language queries. For example, if you
want documents where the Author property includes Paul or Karen, you’d use the
following query:
documents by paul or karen
Similarly, if you want to return all your videos except those in the QuickTime format,
you’d use the following:
videos not quicktime
NOTE
Unlike with AQS, the Boolean operators or and not can appear in lowercase letters.
(The Boolean operator
and is implied in all multiterm natural language queries, so you
never have to use it.)
Finally, note that when you’re working with dates, there are several keywords you can use
in your natural language queries, including the following:
yesterday, today, tomorrow,
week, month, year, last, this, and next. For example, if you want to see all the TIFF
images created this week, you’d use the following:
jpeg images created this week
