Vista’s search efficiency of three techniques
Believe that many of my friends have to spend a WindowsVista, its very powerful search capabilities, in addition to the search box in the Start menu search directly but, if you press the “win + F” key combination to open search browser, and switch to the advanced search mode, you can manually specify a search location, date, size, name, logo, on conditions, so you can locate the target in less time.
In fact, we can further improve Windows Vista’s search efficiency, an example here to VistaSP2 Description:
Skills 1: Quick update search results
Practical work, we may often need a fixed path in the search for a different format File But if each time to reset the search criteria, indeed, considerable trouble. In fact, we can create many different results files can be updated after direct double-click search results:
Example, the completion of the “. Zip” file format search, click on the toolbar “Save Search” button will pop up “Save As” dialog box, the file name and save path to self-designate, as Save as type is not changed, save then we can get an extension called “search-ms” file, after direct double-click the file, you can get the latest results, compared to re-search, the efficiency much higher.
If you want to replace the search format, you can use Notepad Open search results file, find the “operator =” contains “value =”. Zip “”, will be one of the “. Zip” change “. Rar”, save the entry into force quit. Later, just double click the “name. Zip.search-ms” the search results file, you can find the content of search results has changed.
Skills 2: while searching the file formats
File a brief as long as the transformation of the search results, you can also search for documents in two formats:
Such as the need to simultaneously search. Pdf or.jpg two different file formats, is still first in the “name” box enter “. Pdf.jpg”, please pay attention here in English half-angle of the space separated, click the toolbar the “Save Search” button to confirm will be given after the corresponding XML documents. Use Notepad to open the search result files, press “Ctrl + H” key combination to open the Replace dialog box, the “andCondition” replaced “orCondition”, save the changes after the withdrawal. Double-click the modified search results file, shown in Figure 1, you can see the search results have also included two different file formats, search for other formats if you can make changes in the same way.
Skills 3: Enabling natural language We know, Google, Baidu are provided “or” search feature, can use two or more keywords to search, in fact WindowsVista have such functions, but it is disabled by default settings.
Open ” Folder Options “dialog box, switch to the” Search “tab, find the” search mode “section, here check the” use of natural language selection “check box, and other options can be set according to the actual situation. After the need to search a variety of file formats, you can enter “. pdfor.jpg”, where “or” said connectors “or” immediately after the execution can be seen in Figure 2 results. needs to be emphasized is that we can search box in the upper right corner of the window, search your browser, start menu “Start search” box and many other occasions such as natural language search.
