曾经在您的 PC 上丢失过文件并且无法找到它吗？通过本文中的搜索提示，即使您不记得确切的名称或位置，您也可以在Windows文件资源管理器中找到特定文件。
您对正在查找的文件了解的信息越多越好。通过使用下面列出的提示，您将能够使用文件大小、创建日期、文件类型等搜索参数。
作为参考，在开始之前，本文中列出的所有提示都将使用Windows(Windows)文件资源管理器(Explorer)右上角的搜索功能。
希望当您阅读本文中的所有提示时，您会找到一种解决方案来追踪您的文件。
另外，请查看我关于使用第三方工具或通过命令行搜索 Windows(searching Windows using third-party tools or via the command line)的另一篇文章。此外，为了使下面的所有搜索更快地工作，您应该在 Windows 中启用搜索索引。(search indexing enabled)
使用参数定位图像
首先(First)让我们看一下可用于跟踪特定图像的选项。下面我们有一些专门针对您 PC 上的图像的提示。
如果您知道图像的尺寸，您可以输入宽度：x，高度：x。( width: x, height: x. )只需(Simply)将“x”替换为确切的尺寸即可。
如果您不知道确切的尺寸，但您知道它在一定的范围内，您可以改用以下搜索参数：
- Width: >x用于超过特定宽度的文件
- Width: <x用于特定宽度下的文件
- Height: >x表示超过特定高度的文件
- Height: <x用于特定高度以下的文件
只需(Simply)将“x”替换为您要查找的分辨率即可。您可以将任一高度和宽度参数组合在一起。
如果您知道文件类型，您还可以按文件扩展名过滤搜索。例如，您可以在搜索栏中键入“type: .png”以仅显示 .png 图像。
因此，考虑到这一点，如果您知道您创建了一个高度超过 1000、宽度超过 800 的图像，并且您知道它是一个 .png 文件，您可以执行如下图所示的搜索。
(General File Search Tips)在Windows 10上查找文件的(Finding Files)一般文件搜索提示
接下来，我们将了解一些可用于在Windows 10上查找文件的通用文件搜索提示。这些提示对包括图像在内的所有文件都很有用，因此您甚至可以将它们与上面列出的图像特定提示结合使用。
要查找特定文件类型，只需使用“type:”命令，后跟文件扩展名。例如，您可以通过搜索“类型：.docx”来查找 .docx 文件。( ‘type: .docx’.)
您还可以使用以下命令来查找特定文件类型，而不管它们的文件扩展名是什么：
- 对所有照片文件使用“类型：照片”(type: photos’)
- 对所有视频文件使用“类型：视频”( ‘type: video’)
- 对 Word 文档、Excel 表格等使用“类型：文档”(type: documents’)
- 对音频文件使用“类型：音乐”( ‘type: music’)
- 对文本文档使用“类型：文本”(‘type: text’ )
- 使用“类型：收藏夹”( ‘type: favorites’)来查找您收藏的文件
如果您知道文件名的一部分，您可以使用“name:”命令，后跟任何短语、字母或单词。例如，您可以使用 ' name: resume ' 来返回文件名中带有 'resume' 的所有文件。
对于视频独占命令，您可以使用搜索命令'length:'后跟以下单词之一来查找具有特定长度的视频：
- 非常短(Very Short)- 不到 1 分钟
- 短 –(Short –) 1 到 5 分钟
- 中(Medium)– 5 到 30 分钟
- 长(Long)– 30 到 60 分钟
- 非常长(Very Long )- 超过 60 分钟
要按日期查找文件，首先在搜索栏中输入“日期：”(‘date:’ )，然后输入日/月/年或月/日/年的日期，具体取决于您的时间和日期设置。
当您第一次开始输入日期时，您将可以选择使用日历来搜索特定日期，或者您可以使用快速搜索来搜索今天、昨天、本周、上周、本月、上个月、这个年，和去年。
您还可以使用“<”或“>”分别查找在特定日期之前或之后制作的文件。下面提供了一个示例。
如果您知道粗略的文件大小，可以使用“size:”命令过滤掉结果。您可以对某些尺寸使用以下快速命令：
使用这些命令非常适合较小的文件，但对于大于 128MB 的文件，您应该使用搜索范围。例如，如果您知道一个文件在 200MB 和 300MB 之间，您可以使用命令：'size: 500MB – 800MB'。(use the command: ‘size: 500MB – 800MB’.)这将仅显示该范围之间的文件。
感谢您查看我们的高级Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)文件搜索提示。请记住，您可以在单个搜索中组合这些搜索过滤器的任意组合。
例如，如果您正在寻找一个超过 1000 像素宽的 .png 文件，并且您知道它是在2018 年 2 月 20 日(February 2018)之前创建的，则可以使用以下命令：' type: .png, width: >1000, date: <20/02/2018 '
您可以在一次搜索中使用多少个搜索参数没有限制，因此通过组合多个搜索参数，您将节省大量查找文件的时间。您还可以从搜索中排除某些单词。
例如，如果您正在查找已保存的食谱文档，并且您知道其中包含单词 recipe，但您不想要鸡肉食谱，则可以使用命令“recipe NOT chicken”。
这将返回名称中包含单词 recipe 的所有文件，但排除名称中包含单词 chicken 的所有文件。对于您的特定搜索，只需替换“NOT”布尔值两侧的单词。
本文中的提示是否(Did)被证明有用？我们希望他们做到了。如果您在使用这些搜索提示时需要任何帮助，请告诉我，我很乐意提供帮助。享受！
Find Specific Files in Windows Explorer with These Search Tips
Ever lost a file on yoυr PC and just can’t track it down? With the search tips in this article, you’ll be able to find specific files in Windows fіlе explorer, even if you can’t remember the exact name or location.
The more information you know about the file you are looking for the better. You’ll be able to use search parameters like file size, created date, file type, and more by using the tips listed below.
For reference, before we begin, all of the tips listed in this article will be making use of the search function found at the top right of Windows file Explorer.
Hopefully by the time you’ve read all of the tips in this article, you’ll have found a solution to track down your files.
Also, check out my other post on searching Windows using third-party tools or via the command line. Also, in order for all the searches below to work faster, you should have search indexing enabled in Windows.
Locating Images using Parameters
First let’s take a look at the options you have available for tracking down specific images. Below we have a number of tips exclusive for images on your PC.
If you know the dimensions of the image, you can type in width: x, height: x. Simply replace ‘x’ with the exact dimensions.
If you don’t know the exact dimensions, but you know it’s within a certain limit, you can instead use the following search parameters:
- Width: >x for files over a specific width
- Width: <x for files under a specific width
- Height: >x for files over a specific height
- Height: <x for files under a specific height
Simply replace the ‘x’ with the resolution you are looking for. You can combine either of the height and width parameters together.
If you know the file type, you can also filter searches by file extension. For example, you can type ‘type: .png’ into the search bar to only show .png images.
So, with this in mind, if you know you created an image with a height of more than 1000 and a width of more than 800, and you know it is a .png file, you could perform a search like the image shown below.
General File Search Tips For Finding Files on Windows 10
Next, we’ll take a look at a number of general file search tips you can use for finding files on Windows 10. These tips will be useful for all files, including images, so you can even use them in conjunction with the image specific tips listed above.
For finding a specific file type, simply use the ‘type:’ command, followed by the file extension. For example, you can find .docx files by searching ‘type: .docx’.
You can also use the following commands to find specific file types, regardless of their file extension:
- Use ‘type: photos’ for all photo files
- Use ‘type: video’ for all video files
- Use ‘type: documents’ for Word docs, excel sheets, etc
- Use ‘type: music’ for audio files
- Use ‘type: text’ for text documents
- Use ‘type: favorites’ to find your favorited files
If you know part of the name of the file, you can use the ‘name:’ command, followed by any phrase, letters, or words. For example, you can use ‘name: resume’ to return all files with ‘resume’ in the file name.
For a video exclusive command, you can use the search command ‘length:’ followed by one of the following words to find a video with a specific length:
- Very Short – under 1 minute
- Short – 1 to 5 minutes
- Medium – 5 to 30 minutes
- Long – 30 to 60 minutes
- Very Long – Over 60 minutes
To find files by date, start by typing ‘date:’ into the search bar, followed by the date in day/month/year, or month/day/year, depending on your time and date settings.
When you first start typing in the date, you’ll get an option to use a calendar to search for a specific date, or you can use quick searches for today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, this year, and last year.
You can also use ‘<’ or ‘>’ to look for files made before or after specific dates, respectively. An example has been provided below.
If you know the rough file size, you can use the ‘size:’ command to filter out results. You can use the following quick commands for certain sizes:
Using these commands is great for smaller files, but for files that are larger than 128MB, you should use a search range. For example, if you know that a file is between 200MB and 300MB, you can use the command: ‘size: 500MB – 800MB’. This will only show the files that are between that range.
Thanks for taking a look at our advanced Windows Explorer file search tips. Remember that you can combine any combination of these search filters in a single search.
If, for example, you are looking for a .png file that is over 1000 pixels wide and you know it was created before the 20th of February 2018, you can use this command: ‘type: .png, width: >1000, date: <20/02/2018’
There’s no limit to how many search parameters you can use in one search, so by combining multiple, you’ll save lots of time trying to locate the file. You can also exclude certain words from your search.
For example, if you are looking for a recipe document that you’ve saved that you know has the word recipe in it, but you don’t want a chicken recipe, you could use the command ‘recipe NOT chicken’.
This would return all files with the word recipe in the name but exclude all files with the word chicken in the name. For your particular search, just replace the words either side of the ‘NOT’ boolean.
Did the tips in this article prove to be useful? We hope they did. If you need any help using these search tips, let me know and I’ll be happy to offer some help. Enjoy!
