Browsing, Searching & Viewing my files (HD)

♦ To search for files:

1. Use the combination of

File Type

File Date

, and

File Name

that you think should match

the file(s) you want to find:

These selections are combined so that only files that match all of them are found – in
this case only files in the category Photos, and created/last changed within the last
year, and with names starting with ‘inuk’.
•

File Type

– select a category, or ‘Any’ if you want all categories to be searched

•

File Date

– select the time period within which the files were created or changed, or

‘All’ if you want the date to be ignored

•

File Name

– type a “mask” to select files. A blank file name matches all files.

Type whatever you can remember of the file names you want to find, and
substitute:

• ? for one character, meaning that character can be anything at all
• * for any number of characters, meaning these characters can be anything at

all

For example (assuming that the

File Type

and

File Date

selections you made would

include them):

• To find all files whose names begin with ‘08Dec’, type ‘08Dec*’ – this will

find 08Dec_LetterToMary.doc, but not 2008DecemberExpenses.xls

• To find all files with ‘Dec’ anywhere in the name, type ‘*Dec*’ – this will find

08Dec_LetterToMary.doc, 2008DecemberExpenses.xls, etc

• To find all files with ‘n’ as the second character of the name, type ‘?n*’ – this

will find IndiaSlides.ppt, inukshuk5.jpg, but not 5inukshuk.jpg

• To find all files of type ‘doc’ or ‘docx’, type ‘*.doc*’ – of course, this will also

find any files that have type ‘doczzz’ as well
