3 Searching for Files and Folders Basic Search 1. Begin a search with Start -> Search 2. For this exercise choose “All Files and Folders” 3. Enter the file readme.txt in “All or part of the filename:” 4. Click on search

5 Searching for Files and Folders Other Options You can also specify When the file was modified Size of the file

6 Searching for Files and Folders Special Characters A wildcard character is a keyboard character such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) that is used to represent one or more characters when you are searching for files, folders, printers, computers, or people. Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more characters when you do not know what the real character is or you do not want to type the entire name.

7 Searching for Files and Folders Special Characters - Asterisk Use the asterisk as a substitute for zero or more characters. If you are looking for a file that you know starts with "gloss" but you cannot remember the rest of the file name, type gloss* This locates all files of any file type that begin with "gloss" including Glossary.txt, Glossary.doc, and Glossy.doc. To narrow the search to a specific type of file, type gloss*.doc This locates all files that begin with "gloss" but have the file name extension.doc, such as Glossary.doc and Glossy.doc.

8 Searching for Files and Folders Special Characters – Question Mark Use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a name. For example, if you type gloss?.doc, you will locate the file Glossy.doc or Gloss1.doc but not Glossary.doc.
