'Search in result' is a powerful feature that allows you to re-search in the found files with stricter or new filters to reduce the found file count.
This feature is similar with 'Smart mark' in other programs but more powerful.
Using this feature smartly will save you much time.
Following options are only valid when searching in duplicate file set.
Search in all files: If it's selected, all files will be counted, include duplicate files and unique files.
Search in duplicate files only: If it's selected, only files in duplicate groups will be counted.
Search in non-duplicate files only: If it's selected, only unique files (not duplicate) will be counted.
For example, FileCake has searched 1000 files and found 300 duplicate files. Then if "Search in duplicate files only" is selected, only the 300 duplicate files will be searched again, other 700 files that aren't in any duplicate groups will be ignored. If "Search in all files" is selected, then all 1000 files will be searched again.
This is a very useful option. If you have searched 100,000 files for duplicate files, this option gives you a chance to switch between duplicate files or common files quickly without re-search all 100,000 files again. It will save you much time!
Group option:
This option is only enabled when current file result is for duplicate file and 'Search in duplicate files' is selected.
This is another timesaving option. It allow you to search all files in duplicate files with certain stamp such as oldest file date time or longest file name, then you can delete or move them quickly without do it group by group.
Date/Time:
Oldest: Search each duplicate group for the oldest file. Each group has only one oldest file.
Older: Search each group for the older files except one newest file.
Newer: Search each group for the newer files except one oldest file.
Newest: Search each group for the newest file. Each group has only one newest file.
The files count relation is,
Oldest + Older = Newer + Newest = Total duplicate files.
The algorithm is based on file last modified time stamp.
File name length:
Search for files with the shortest, shorter, longer or longest file name. The file name doesn't include the folder name.
Folder name length:
Search for files with the shortest, shorter, longer or longest folder name. The folder name doesn't include the file name.
File size:
Search for files with the smallest, smaller, larger, or largest size.
