How can I search by owner in Windows Explorer?

Hi.

In Windows Explorer I can add lots of columns of info about files
(e.g. Owner, Date Created), but when I select search, it looks like I
can only search by filename, text in file, size, and modification
date. How do I search by other fields, specifically Owner?

If the built-in explorer can't, what replacement shells can? I tried
AccelMan, but it won't even display Owner, much less search for it.

Thanks,

David

My approach would be the command line. Try some of this:

dir /q *.*
(this lists all files in the root, and their owner)

dir /q /s *.* . mylist.txt
(all files, and makes a txt file of it)

notepad c:/mylist.txt



sort

that should have been

dir /q /s *.* > mylist.txt

sort can take an input from a file

sort..... < mylist.txt
