Thank you for your reply.2.3.1.1. list up-to-date parameters ? Microsoft website on AQS isn’t up-to-date
MS has never, as far as I know, completely documented Windows search parameters. It has successfully created animosity towards and dislike for Windows search by making it complicated and badly configured 'out of the box'.
Until build 1903 correct search syntax was helpfully highlighted in blue. Then MS decided to change things- for the worse.
Windows 10 search, even after indexing (option set by company) is:
2.1. Much slowerI have commented on the speed above. I will repeat one detail: on this PC, with file explorer open at C: I can get instant content search results. See my previous post #4.With Windows 10, I found search file name is much much faster than file content.
I regard it thus: the menu options provide some support in constructing a search. However they do not offer all the features available using search syntax.Microsoft seems to discourage scripting and prefer menu-type search definition.
Unsure what you're trying to achieve. For exampleExample: “AND” is allowed but not “AND OR”
contents:Leicester OR contents:Athens AND type:rtf
is valid as is
(contents:cycling OR contents:Leicester) AND (type:rtf OR typedf)
(the last is type: pdf - no space)
Sorry, I'm not even going to attempt to address most of those others.
