| Set search filters |
|
|
Click the blue labels 'Name', 'Size', 'Datetime', 'Attribute' or 'Image' to set the search filters.
Name filter: set the file name pattern filter.
There are two edit boxes in the name filter configure dialog box, 'Include' and 'Exclude'.
The 'Include' filter is the file name patterns that included in the search result.
The 'Exclude' filter is the file name patterns that will be ignored during searching.
You can set multiple patterns for each filter, each pattern is separated by a semicolon ';'.
File pattern: DOS like file name pattern, wildcard '*' and '?' can be used.
For example,
Set 'Include' filter as '*.mp?', and leave 'Exclude' blank, then a.mp1, b.mp2, c.mp3 will be matched. But if you set 'Exclude' filter as '*.mp2', then only a.mp1, c.mp3 will be matched.
If you want to search all files regardless of the file name, leave the name filter blank for best performance.
Button 'File types': Response to prompt a dialog box that includes all known file types that registered in your system. You can set select the file filter from meaningful file type description like 'ACDSee JPEG Image'.
Size filter: choose what size you want to search for.
You can set the file size range here. Only files that size matches your configuration will be searched.
The left edit box is the low limitation, and the right one is the high limitation.

Though you can set only one range in the dialog box each time, you can set it for multiple times and the ranges will be combined.

You can set the create time, modify time, and last access time here.
