Boolean Operator Search
Posted: 25 Feb 2010 16:24
After looking over the documentation, I can't tell if what I'm doing isn't supported, or if I'm just getting the syntax wrong in some way. What I'm trying to do is group boolean operators together by performing the following search.
(*.jpg | *.jpeg | *.png) & prop:bitdepth:32
The search returns no records where I know that it should return some. Also, properties like width and height don't seem to work as expected and I'm wondering if it's because they have the term "pixels" appended on the end. I've tried to search for the full text of a resolution like "1024 pixels" but I don't get those returned in the results either. I think I must be doing it wrong syntactically.
I work at a company that creates a lot of screenshots (in fact we're known for them, we make Snagit) and searches like this could really help me in my daily job. I just don't know how to create them yet. I think the potentials for the meta-data property searching on files are nearly limitless.
