Right click a catalog category select Add New Item Here, and use something like this in the Location field.

G:\OneDrive - Ramanandaguru\Desktop\Obsidian\Dendron?Completion: 100%

This is air code (= did not test), but it should be:

G:\OneDrive - Ramanandaguru\Desktop\Obsidian\Dendron?50% /fld=Completion

Just paste it into the Location field in the Catalog Item Properties dialog.

Hi

If I want to Search for files, based on Two extra columns will this work ( Boolean search)

G:\OneDrive - Ramanandaguru\Desktop\Obsidian\Dendron?50% /fld=Completion & Medium /fld=Importance

I have created in Catlog

two new Quick search items

Individually highlighting them is giving necessary result

But When I place a tick in the checkbox I am getting results for all words ( 50% /T)

Also I am not able to use Boolean Logic, Please help

It is much simpler. Just put whatever is in your Find Files | Name field into the Quick Search box:
Importance:Medium & Completion:50%
