Syntax

function:value

function specifies what to search.
value specifies what to match.

For example:
date-modified:today
size:>10mb

Dashes (-) in search function names are optional.

For example:
datemodified:today is the same as date-modified:today

Use double quotes (") around values to treat them as plain text.

Operators inside quotes are ignored.

For example:
artist:"John Doe"
content:"Jane|Doe"

Use a * after the function name to treat the remainder of the search as plain text.

No further parsing is performed.

For example:
content*:<div class="menu"> = matches files containing the text <div class="menu">
-or-
si*:"1+1=2" = matches items in the Windows System Index containing the text "1+1=2"

An empty value matches any non-zero numeric value or any non-empty text value.

The following operators can be used with numerical values:

function:<=value: Less than or equal to value.
function:<value: Less than value.
function:value: Equal to value within the specified value granularity.
size:1kb is the same as size:1024..2047
function:==value
function:=value: Exactly equal to value.
size:=1kb is the same as size:1024
function:>value: Greater than value.
function:>=value: Greater than or equal to value.
function:!=value: Not equal to value.
function:!value: Not equal to value with specified granularity.
function:start..end
function:start-end: Is in the range of values from start to end (inclusive).
function:unknown: The property value is unknown (has not been indexed yet, or Everything failed to gather the property value).

For example:
size:<=10mb = size is less than or equal to 10MB
size:<10mb = size is less than 10MB
size:==1kb = size is exactly 1024 bytes
size:=1kb = size is exactly 1024 bytes
size:1kb = size is between 1024 and 2047 bytes
size:>=10mb = size is greater than or equal to 10MB
size:>10mb = size is greater than 10MB
size:!=1kb = size is not exactly 1024 bytes
size:!1kb = size is not between 1024 and 2047 bytes
size:2mb..3mb = size is between 2MB and 3MB
size:2mb-3mb = size is between 2MB and 3MB

Operators

Operators combine search terms and sub-expression search terms to control how they are evaluated.

space: AND search terms together.

For example:
ext:docx content:abc = matches docx files containing content abc
|: OR search terms together.

Spaces immediately before or after | are ignored.

For example:
ext:docx | folder: = matches files with a docx extension OR folders
!: NOT a search term.
The search term that follows is excluded.

For example:
!attribute:h = matches files and folders without the hidden attribute
< >: Group search terms together to change the evaluation order.

For example:
folder: !<child:.jpg|child:.flac> = matches folders that do not contain a jpg or flac file
" ": Quote search text.
Treats everything inside the quotes as plain text.
Operators inside quotes are ignored.

For example:
content:"abc 123" = matches files with content containing abc 123

Date syntax

Month and year: Specify a month and year in either of the following formats:
MM/YYYY
YYYY/MM

For example:
date-modified:07/2026
date-modified:2026/07
Complete date: Specify a complete date in one of the following formats.
The interpretation of slash-separated dates depends on your regional settings.
DD/MM/YYYY
YYYY/MM/DD
MM/DD/YYYY

For example:
date-modified:02/07/2026
date-modified:2026/07/02
date-modified:07/02/2026
ISO 8601 extended: YYYY[-MM[-DD[Thh[:mm[:ss[.sss]]]]]]

* wildcard is supported in ISO 8601 extended format.

For example:
date-modified:2026-07
date-modified:2026-07-02
date-modified:2026-07-02T10:52
date-modified:*-02
date-modified:*-*-*T9:00..*-*-*T17:00
ISO 8601 basic: YYYYMMDD[Thh[mm[ss[.sss]]]]]

For example:
date-modified:20260702
YYMMDD: For example:
date-modified:260702 => 2026-07-02
YYYY: Four-digit year.

For example:
date-modified:2026
YY: Two digit year in the current century.

For example:
date-modified:26 = matches files/folders modified in 2026
Relative duration: x<years|months|weeks|days|hours|minutes|seconds>

Matches values from now back by the specified duration.

For example:
date-modified:2days = modified in the last 2 days.
date-modified:3months = modified in the last 3 months.
date-modified:4hours = modified in the last 4 hours.
Excel DateTime: 10000 - 99999 => (1927-05-18 - 2173-10-13)

For example:
date-modified:46189.7795022
FILETIME: 9+ digit FILETIME value (decimal or hex with 0x prefix)

For example:
date-modified:134260745917910877
date-modified:0x1DCFD6FE3B74F5D

Date constants

Date constants can be used anywhere a date value is expected.

today
yesterday
january|february|march|april|may|june|july|august|september|october|november|december
jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec
sunday|monday|tuesday|wednesday|thursday|friday|saturday
sun|mon|tue|wed|thu|fri|sat
mtd|ytd|qtd = month to date | year to date | quarter to date
unknown

Duration syntax

Unit duration format: [n<hours|hour|h>][n<minutes|minute|mins|min|m>][n<seconds|second|secs|sec|s>]

For example:
length:5mins
length:1hour2mins5secs
length:>10mins
length:40mins..50mins
Time duration format: [[[days:]hours:]minutes:]seconds[.milliseconds]

For example:
length:1:32 = matches media files with a length of 1 minute and 32 seconds
length:1:43:21.987 = matches media files with a length of 1 hour 43 minutes and 21.987 seconds
ISO 8601 duration: P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S
P[n]W
PYYYYMMDDThhmmss
P[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]

For example:
length:pt1h20m30s
length:p1w
length:pt012030
length:pt1:20:30

Attribute syntax

Attributes can be zero or more of the following letters:

A = Archive
C = Compressed
D = Directory
E = Encrypted
H = Hidden
I = Not Content Indexed
L = Reparse Point
N = Normal
M = Recall on Data Access
O = Offline
P = Pinned
R = Read-only
S = System
T = Temporary
U = Unpinned
V = Integrity Stream
X = No Scrub Data

-or-

Zero or more Windows file attributes in decimal or hex (with 0x prefix).

For example:
attributes:RASH = matches files/folders that include all specified attributes (RASH)
attributes:0x200 = matches sparse files

Search modifiers

Prefix a search function with one or more search modifiers to change how it is evaluated.

For example:
case:regex:content:"^Start of the file content with some digits \d\d\d\d"

Sub-expressions

Search functions can be applied to grouped sub-expressions enclosed in < >.

Search operators combine sub-expression terms to control how they are evaluated.

For example:
content:<abc 123> is the same as content:abc content:123
content:<abc|123> is the same as content:abc | content:123

Lists

Semicolon (;) delimited lists can be used with any property search function.
Semicolons can be escaped with double quotes (").

Full-text search functions (such as content:) treat semicolons as part of the search text rather than as list delimiters.

List items are treated as OR expressions.

width:1920;3840 is the same as width:1920 | width:3840

Substitution

For each file or folder, $property-name: is replaced with its corresponding property value.

Substitution works with any property search function that accepts text, or filename search function.

Use $0:-$9: to recall captured regex matches.

exists:$shortcut-target:
regex:^(.*)\.[^.]*$ sibling:$1:
extension: stem:.$extension: = stem contains the extension / duplicated extension in filename

Multi-string values

Some properties can have multiple values.
Properties with multiple values are displayed as a semicolon (;) delimited list.

By default, search functions evaluate each string in the list individually.
An item matches if any value satisfies the search.

Use the all-strings: modifier to require every value in the list to match.
Use the no-multi-string: modifier to treat the entire list as a single literal string.

For example:
artist:John = matches media files where any artist value contains John.
artist:"John Doe" = matches media files where any artist value contains John Doe.
whole:artist:Jane = matches media files where any artist value matches the full value Jane.
artist:John;"Jane doe" = matches media files where any artist contains John or Jane doe.
all-strings:artist:John;Jane = matches media files where every artist value contains John or Jane.

Wildcards

Wildcards can be used with filename text search functions.
Use the wildcards: search modifier to use wildcards with other text search functions.

*	Matches zero or more characters (except `\`)
**	Matches zero or more characters
?	Matches one character (except `\`)

For example:
name:*.jpg
stem:doc*
wildcards:comment:project*
wildcards:artist:the*

Column header search

To search within a specific column:

Right-click the result list column header and click Search property....
This will append the associated search function to your search.
Type in your search text or search value.

Search function names will generally match the column name.

Search weights

Every search function has an internal weight estimating its execution speed.
Everything automatically reorders search terms from fastest to slowest so that faster conditions are evaluated first.

For example:
content:"abc 123" "c:\my docs\" filters by path c:\my docs\ before checking file contents.

Search functions are grouped into three main weight categories:

Search functions that access indexed information (fast)
Search functions that access the disk or system index (medium)
Search functions that access file content (slow)

Slow queries

Long-running searches display a progress bar in the status bar.
Double-click the progress bar or change the search to cancel the active search.
