I want to search a given location for all videos less than 20 minutes long. I dont see how I can put that variable in. Just short medium long....

Search for music length:>hh:mm:ss

Hi, file explorer is unexpectedly helpful here:




You'll be aware you can add length as a column in the file explorer pane- thus you can organise your search results:




Advanced Query Syntax (Windows)
- that article, whilst generally true, is a bit out of date. I haven't yet seen anything later.

HowtoGeek on search does include length:
Learning Windows Search: Use Advanced Query Syntax to Find Everything

Properties can be used to edit metadata, (although not so many as shown by default) but not basic attributes like that.




Suggest running such files through a converter.

 

The length of the selection line in the Windows Explorer


Sorry for my English. If you can, please tell me the solution. In Windows Explorer, the selection line (list view) depends on the length of the file or folder. In Windows 10, the selection line does not depend on the length of the file or folder, it is always the same. Can I change something in the Registry Editor to do it as it was at 7?

 

Search for Missing files in File Explorer

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are looking for a file named “Class” with the length of the file. However, currently File Explorer doesn’t have the option to search the files using the length.

You can follow the steps mentioned below to search for a file in File Explorer using the Size, Kind of file and other options.

1. Press and hold Windows key + E to open
   File Explorer.
   
2. Click on This PC on the left pane.
   
3. Press F3 key to open Search options.
   
4. You can select the Size,
   Kind of file and other options and then, search for the file.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
