Returns “geek” results that have been flagged incomplete This will show you items that have been deleted that have “geek” Returns results with “geek” that have been flagged, such as for review or follow-up Locate recurring items with “geek” in them Use this to find attachments with the word “geek” (same as isattachment:true)įinds things which are online and contain the word “geek” The following table is pasted directly from Microsoft’s documentation on AQS with some minor tweaks to make it geekier. Let’s look at these properties and show you how they work. You can also find certain file types using Boolean properties. The best thing about Boolean is that it works best when combined with AQS search parameters. That should be pretty easy to understand. Searching through our Documents folder we’re given four results dated after Octowith “How-to Geek” somewhere in the name or folder.
Let’s create an example, we want to find a file, created after Octowith the phrase “How-To Geek”: You can actually create a search using only Boolean. Returns results that contain the terms apple or pie in any orderįinds files created after 12/31/99Finds files larger than 10000 bytesįinds files created before 12/31/99Finds files smaller than 10000 bytesįinds files with creation dates from 12/31/99 to 12/31/00 Returns instances of “apple” but not “pie” Note, Boolean operators should be fully capitalized and you cannot use NOT and OR in the same query. Let’s walk through some Boolean operators so you know how they work. On the other hand, you could search for music files OR image files, meaning that your search will return results with both file kinds. For example, you could search for all image files but NOT bitmap files. For example, you can constrain a search with NOT. Boolean allows you to combine search operators to narrow or broaden your results. We mentioned Boolean operators earlier in this series, now let’s talk about it in greater detail. Let’s Talk About Boolean Operators, Again You can most definitely search without these tools, and that may be enough to find what you’re looking for, however, things like Boolean and wildcards really enhance searching and speed up file finding greatly especially if you’ve a lot of stuff stored or archived. These tools include Boolean operators, date operators, and wildcards.
