Windows Basics: Searching for Files or Folders Computer Information Technology – Section 2-5

Searching for Files and Folders Objective: To learn how to search for files and folders using the advanced search options

Searching for Files and Folders Basic Search Begin a search with Start -> Search For this exercise choose “All Files and Folders” Enter the file readme.txt in “All or part of the filename:” Click on search

Searching for Files and Folders Search for a file containing… You can search for a file containing a word: Click Back Type the word “office” in “A word or phrase in the file:” Click Search

Searching for Files and Folders Other Options You can also specify When the file was modified Size of the file

Searching for Files and Folders Special Characters A wildcard character is a keyboard character such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) that is used to represent one or more characters when you are searching for files, folders, printers, computers, or people. Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more characters when you do not know what the real character is or you do not want to type the entire name.

Searching for Files and Folders Special Characters - Asterisk Use the asterisk as a substitute for zero or more characters. If you are looking for a file that you know starts with "gloss" but you cannot remember the rest of the file name, type gloss* This locates all files of any file type that begin with "gloss" including Glossary.txt, Glossary.doc, and Glossy.doc. To narrow the search to a specific type of file, type gloss*.doc This locates all files that begin with "gloss" but have the file name extension .doc, such as Glossary.doc and Glossy.doc.

Searching for Files and Folders Special Characters – Question Mark Use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a name. For example, if you type gloss?.doc, you will locate the file Glossy.doc or Gloss1.doc but not Glossary.doc.
