I guess its Windows 98
For exact filename: If you know the exact name of the file, just not
its location, you can surround it in quotes. For example, the file is
named Telephone Numbers. In the Named field, type: "Telephone
Numbers". If you know the extension of the file, add that at the end.
"Telephone Numbers.doc" for example.
For some of a filename & some of the document: If you know some of
the name of a file, and some of the text within the file, you have a
few options. You can type in what you know of the file name (in the
named field), and what you know of the text in within the document (in
the containing text field). This will produce results matching the
criteria you entered.
Using a Wildcard *: Another option available while searching is to use
something called a wildcard. A wildcard is represented using the
asterisk, *. This can be entered anywhere in the named field to take
the place of a name or file extension, etc. Try to be as specific as
possible while using wildcards. -->For example, if you know you need a
document with a filename of August something, and is in a .doc format,
you could search for: August*.doc. This would produce a list of files
in .doc format beginning with august.
