Advanced text search
You can also perform very advanced text searches using boolean operators. Proceed
as follows:
1. Select the desired location.
2. Activate Logical filtering by clicking on the Logical button at the top of the Filters
section.
A condition line appears.
3. Select the desired attribute on the Attributes pop-up menu, or leave the setting on
“Any Attribute”.
4. Make sure that the condition is set to “matches”.
5. Specify the desired text in the field to the right using boolean operators.
The available options are described in the section “Performing a text search” on
page 401.
Performing a context menu search
If you have selected a file in the Results list or the Attribute Inspector which contains
an attribute you are interested, there is a very fast way to look for other files with the
same attribute.
• Right-click the selected file to open the context menu and select the attribute value
from the “Search for…” submenu.
This way you can easily find all the files that have this value in common, for example
if you want to view all files that were created on the same day.
Ö This is the same as specifying a logical search string, see above. When you select any
of the “Search for…” options, the Filters section automatically switches to Logical
filtering and the corresponding filter condition line is displayed. To return to the
previous settings, click the Go Back button in the Filters section.
