List of Win7 WinExplorer Search Filters

[PHiZ]

I am looking for a list of permissible search filters for the WindowsExplorer search box in Win7. (It may be the same as Vista, I don't know, I've never used Vista.)

For example, when you click on the search box (upper right hand corner of WinExp.), you get the options to restrict your search (filter) by "Authors", "Type", "Size", etc.

The format is FILTER:searchTerm.

You can use the filter "Content:" to search inside of indexable files (such as word docs, PDFs, etc.) I am looking for a list of other filters. I haven't had any luck googling, or searching the forum. Thanks.

:sigh: found it.

Using boolean operators:

Advanced Query Syntax (Search Filters)

Although "content:" doesn't seem to be listed. It may have only been in a release candidate. Although, you can use the GUI to restrict to content (again, in my RC).
