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.
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.
