Solved File Explorer

Windows 11 – 22H2



I am using the following to search multiple drives in Windows 11 with File Explorer:

'C:\\','D:\\'OR Ext: .doc OR Ext: .xls OR Ext: .pdf OR Ext: .jpg OR Ext: .mp3 datemodified:1/4/2023 .. 30/4/23

The search does pick up correct file extension BUT also Javascipt *.js.

How can I stop the *.js files being shown?

Hi JJB, welcome to the Forum.

This is Advanced Query Syntax in Windows Search.

Maybe if you search for:

C:\. OR D:\. AND (Ext:.doc OR Ext: .xls OR Ext: .pdf OR Ext:.jpg OR Ext: .mp3) AND datemodified:1/4/2023..30/4/23

'C:\\','D:\\' did not work for me, but I do not have any network shares on my computer.

iko22,

Thanks - tried this but D drive is not searched.

My original search Syntax worked with Windows 7, not sure what is happening.

Do you currently have files modified within the specified date range on drive D:?

Otherwise, you can try this and see if it is any better:

iko22,

This worked. I seached for the period 01/6/2023 - 30/06/2023 which is what I was after.

Only problem is it also picks up the extensions I am searching for to any "Apps" that have updated during that above period rather than just my personal files.

But I can work around this.


Many Thanks.

regards

John
