Use the Search menu to limit your search to files in a specific location, such as your address book or
Web pages, or to display only a specific type of file in your results list. The View menu lets you sort
the items in your results list according to name, relevance, or the date the file was last modified.
You can also access Desktop Search by clicking Computer > More Applications > System > Search.
9.2 Search Tips
Š
You can use both uppercase and lowercase letters in search terms. Searches are not case-
sensitive by default.
To perform a case-sensitive search, put double quotation marks (“) around the word you want
to match exactly. For example, if you use “APPLE” in a search, apple will be ignored.
Š
To search for optional terms, use OR (for example, apples OR oranges).
IMPORTANT: The OR is case-sensitive when used to indicate optional search terms.
Š To exclude search terms, use a minus sign (-) in front of the term you want to exclude (for
example, apples -oranges will find results containing apples but not oranges).
Š
To search for an exact phrase or word, put quotation marks (“) around the phrase or word.
Š
Common words such as “a,” “the,” and “is” are ignored.
Š
The base form of a search term is used when searching (for example, a search for “driving” will
match “drive,” “drives,” and “driven”).
9.3 Performing a Property Search
By default, the Beagle search tool looks for search terms in the text of documents and in their
metadata. To search for a word in a particular property, use
property:query
. For example,
author:john
searches for files that have “john” listed in the Author property.
