Intuitive Search Syntax
With UltraSearch Professional, you can not only search by file name, but also limit the search to file extensions, file types or file contents. Catchy keywords make this possible without any mouse clicks. Search terms can be easily combined with AND
or OR
and file names can be excluded from the search using the search syntax. It is also possible to use wildcards and regular expressions.
If you are looking for specific video files, simply enter type:video files
next to the file name. When searching for license documents you can, for example, start a full text search for "My license" in all Word files using extension:docx AND content:my license
.
The search syntax offers you the possibility
- to find file and folder names.
- to use wildcards in the search terms.
- to search for file extensions or file types.
- to perform a full text search in files.
- to combine several search terms.
- to exclude files and folders from the search.
- to use regular expressions.
- to use a short spelling of keywords for a faster search entry.
