Search window
Select the Tools | Search ( ) menu item to open the search window.
Regular expressions search.
To perform the search using regular expressions, open the search window, enter the search expression and press the "Start" button. The following wildcards can be used:
"*" (asterisk) - stands for any number of any symbols.
For example, the inquiry "*.txt" will return the files "licence.txt", "help.txt" etc.
"?" (question mark) - any single symbol.
For example, the inquiry "song.mp?" will return "song.mp3" and "song.mpg", but not "song.mpeg"
" " (space) - logical OR
For example, the inquiry "*.mp3 *.wav" will return the list of all wav and mp3 files.
The use of regular expressions is not obligatory, in most cases you can just enter some part of a file name, and the search will be successful (e.g.: the inquiry "californication" will return files "Red Hot Chill Peppers - Californication.txt" and "Red Hot Chill Peppers - californication.mp3").
Note: an empty search string will be interpreted as "*"
Searching comments
To perform the search using regular expressions, open the search window, enter the search expression in the "In comments" field and click "Start". You can use the same wildcards as in the search of file names. If you do not want to search the comments, clear the field.
Searching keywords.
To perform the keywords search, open the search window and click the "By keywords" tab. Use the drop-down list and the "Add", "Add all", "Remove" and "Clear" buttons to select a set of keywords to look for. To include the set into the inquiry, mark the "Include keywords" item. Note: please keep in mind that expressions entered in the "Quick search" tab are also part of the inquiry. To start the search, press the "Start" button.
