It’s important to note that Windows Search does not differentiate between letter case. If you want to search for exact phrases, you can use quotes (just like with Google). You can see that my search options changed a bit. I searched for “photo” because I’m looking for things with that in the title or location.īut, let’s say I wanted to eliminate anything that had “adobe” in the title or location? That’s easy! Just add a dash before words you want to “subtract” from your results. Pop open an Explorer window and search for something. The best part is you can use AQS anywhere you search, including the two most prominent areas: the Start Menu and in Explorer windows. If you refuse to memorize things on principle, though, you don’t need to worry you can add operators and select properties with the mouse, as well. You enter your search terms, you put down an “operator,” then follow up with a “property” that can be mathematical, from a specific list, or from everyday speech. AQS feeds off of natural language keywords along with specific operators to get the job done. The biggest benefit to this is that if you know the operators, you can find results more quickly because you can type faster than you can click. It was developed alongside the Windows Search tool and has been seamlessly baked into 7’s goodness.ĪQS allows you to use special operators and searching syntax to quickly pare down results.

Windows 7 eschews a proper “Advanced Search” option in favor of using Advanced Query Syntax.
