Advance Query Sytnax - AQS Part 2

This is a follow up to the first post Advance Query Sytnax - AQS Part 1

To search for file based on it's kind, you use the kind property. For example:

• 
  kind:Music ... you can also use song, songs
  Kind:email ... you can also use mail, message, messages, emails
  Kind:document ... you can also use documents, doc, docs
  Kind:Meeting ... you can also use calendar, appointment
  Kind:Picture ... you can also use Pic, Pics, Photo, image, images.

The terms can be combined using the OR operator
Kind:Music OR Pic will return all your music and pic files

You can also combine other conditions:
Kind:Music AND Artist:Prince
or
Kind:Music Artist:Prince since AND is implicit

Enabling NQS (Natural Query Syntax) will simplify the syntax

• 
  Music artist Prince
  Music by prince
  Pics taken last month
  email received last week from John about presentation

You can search on all the properties any kind of file can have. For example. you can search for photos based on the Taken property. You can search for document based on it's author. For eample:

Kind:Document Author:David Johnson

or you do an exact match

Kind:Document Author:"David Johnson"

or you can take it further

kind:Document Author:="David Johnson"

The difference here: the first one is searching for author that contains "David Johnson". The second using the equal sign is searching for author with exact match.
