Is there a way to search properties of files?
Is there a way to search properties of files?
For example, if I have an audio file with the name "XXX.mp3", and the album is "YYY". Can I somehow find the file by searching "YYY"?
Re: Is there a way to search properties of files?
No, not yet, sorry.
It is planned for the Everything 1.5.
For now, Everything can only search file names, sizes, dates and attributes.

Thanks for replying, Everything is already the best searching tool.void wrote:No, not yet, sorry.

How do I search file attributes?
I've noticed the following functions, but I do not know how to use them.
attrib:<attributes>
attributes:<attributes>
Re: Is there a way to search properties of files?
attrib:<attributes> and attributes:<attributes> both do the same thing, search for attributes.
<attributes> can be zero or more of the follow letters:
attrib:rh
Note: attribute information is not indexed by default, you can enable attribute indexing from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Index Attributes with Everything 1.4 or later.
Note: when attribute information is not indexed, combine with other searches for the best performance, for example: *.txt attrib:rh
<attributes> can be zero or more of the follow letters:
- A Archive
- C Compressed
- D Directory
- E Encrypted
- H Hidden
- I Not content indexed
- L Reparse point
- N Normal
- O Offline
- P Sparse file
- R Read only
- S System
- T Temporary
- V Device
attrib:rh
Note: attribute information is not indexed by default, you can enable attribute indexing from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Index Attributes with Everything 1.4 or later.

Not quit sure I'm following, but if your directory structure fits, & you have Match Path enabled...if I have an audio file with the name "XXX.mp3", and the album is "YYY". Can I somehow find the file by searching "YYY"?
Search | Match Path
Search -> Procol Harum
Will find all Procol Harum (mp3's or such)
Search -> Procol Harum conquistador
Will find: M:\Procol Harum\Procol Harum - 30th Anniversary Anthology\DISK 1\01 - Conquistador.mp3
