Code: Select all

To search only files, use the file: modifier:

Code: Select all

To make a filter for files only:
  • From the Search menu, from the Filters submenu, click Add to filters.
  • Give the filter a name, for example Files only.
  • Change the search to:

    Code: Select all

    file:
  • Click OK.
