Oops, yes, you're right.

Personally, I got fed-up of MS changing the search syntax too
frequently, so now I use FileLocatorPro.
FWIW, I haven't had to search for a file in a long time. That's because
I have carefully constructed folder-trees, and always put stuff where it
belongs. I also name (and rename downloaded) files so that they will
alphabetise in groups, easy to spot in Details View. And I avoid use of
"libraries" as much as possible.

Have a good day,
Is it possible to select non-contiguous folders to be searched? Say
one folder on HDD1 & a folder on HDD2?
Create a Library ? :-)

A Library is an arbitrary grouping of directories. It allows
you to logically combine things. You can create a brand new
Library, using some tutorial on the web.

And keep saying to yourself "I am a power user... I can do this..."
while reading this page :-)

Thank you kindly, but this will take deep study, and I'm already
psyching myself up for the Windows-10 release at the end of the month.
This will take all my resolve.
I'll conquer the library thing thereafter.

Actually, all your photos should be in the Photo library now.
Have you checked the setup of it ?

Other than that, I'm surprised the Indexing Options control
panel, doesn't allow you to scan the entire computer, and
find every instance of cameramodel on the machine. Set
the File Explorer window to My PC, and search from there ?
That ought to cover it, and once an index is built, the
search results should come back fast.

I notice in Windows 10, the Indexing Options is still
the same. I was hoping there'd be some way to make
it better.
