Need help with advanced searching in Windows Explorer

D

David Rogoff

Hi.

I'm can't find out how to search files by certain attributes. All I see
if filename, contents, modification date, and size. I need to search by
owner. I can add a column with file owner and sort by it, but I can see
how to search for this.

How do I do this? If Windows Explorer can't do this, are there add-ons
or replacements that can?

Thanks,

David

I do not believe that windows explorer can do this for you, yet you
can achieve this from the cli in this way...

dir /q /s c:\*.doc | find /i "owner name"

That would search for all files ending in .doc on your c: hard drive
and belonging to "owner name"
