The word NOT works, too. If you did a search for dolphins, hoping

to turn up sea-mammal documents, but instead find your results
contaminated by football-team listings, then by all means repeat
the search with dolphins NOT Miami. Windows will eliminate all
documents containing “Miami.”

Note

You must type Boolean terms like AND, OR, and NOT in all capitals.

You can even combine Boolean terms with the other special search

terms described in this chapter. Find everything created in the past
couple of months by searching for created: September OR October,

for example. If you’ve been entering your name into the Properties
dialog box of Microsoft Office documents, you can find all the
ones created by Casey and Robin working together using author:
(Casey AND Robin).

File Explorer Results Menu Tips

It should be no surprise that a feature as important as Search comes loaded

with options, tips, and tricks. Here it is—the official, unexpurgated Search
Tip-O-Rama:

You can open anything in the results menu by highlighting it and
then pressing Enter to open it.

You can jump to the actual icon of a search result, sitting there
in its actual window, instead of opening it. To do that, right-click
its name and, from the shortcut menu, choose “Open file location.”
The Esc key (top-left corner of your keyboard) is a quick “Back

out of this” keystroke. Tap it to close the results menu and restore
the Start menu to its original form.
