There is no 'L' attribute.

Try something like 'attrib:a'.

Also generally better to filter first before applying a function.
(That way it only has to apply the function to a subset of "all" files.)

> everything .ini attrib:a


> ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [drive:][path][filename] [/S [/D]]
> R Read-only file attribute.
> A Archive file attribute.
> S System file attribute.
> H Hidden file attribute.

(possibly some others?)

> C Compressed
> D Directory
> E Encrypted

Hey thanks for replying

I tried what you suggested and this is what i got:
everything.PNG
everything.PNG (60.68 KiB) Viewed 5669 times
I don't know what's going wrong there except the feeling that i'm using it wrong.

As to attrib:l it supposed to find symlinks and the like.It's mentioned in the search syntax thread http://forum.voidtools.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1970
attrib:<attributes>
attributes:<attributes>
Search for files and folders that have the specified attributes set.

<attributes> can be zero or more of the following:
R Read only
H Hidden
S System
D Directory
A Archive
V Device
N Normal
T Temporary
P Sparse file
L Reparse point
C Compressed
O Offline
I Not content indexed
E Encrypted

Damn I should've checked that before posting. It's 1.2.1.371. I got it from ninite.com and assumed it was the latest.

After updating using your link it works as it should. Thanks for helping me out.

Please help me. how I can search for files using regular expression of a desired size eg small or medium or kb?
for example, if I type

>(jpg|png)$

List files of various sizes, but if typing

>(jpg|png)$ size: medium

or well

>(jpg|png)$ size:>100kb

does not work any of the previous two, not list anything, having sizes of these files, I tried it on several versions of everything

ext:jpg,png size:>100kb
When you use | it means the the filters will be applied only to one of the sides(where the filters are)
This will search for jpg files(any size) and png files which are bigger than 100kb
jpg|png size:>100kb
This will search for jpg files(bigger than 100kb) and png files(any size)
jpg size:>100kb|png

Like...search for file with those filters OR(|) for files with those filters
