There is a tools which is giving the advance search option for the command line. With the help of this tools you can enhance your search in a better way. All you have to do is that just download it from the internet and install it on your system and when you need to search any think then use the syntax given "forfiles.exe /p C:\Windows" in command line. It also have lots of the option which make it better to search the files which are as follows

/p: Path to search
/m: File type to search
/s: Include subfolders
GTR: Greater than.

Thank you

Hi there, You can also use the command of the file search which is given as "Dir /s *.doc". This will give you the complete search of the directory or the file which you have specified with this option. So go through the option and enjoy the searching of the same. You can enhance this option more with the name of the file. "dir /s *.doc > filename.txt" is the syntax for the same. I hope you like it. Say thanks if it work for you. Bye

Hey there, You did not give any specification of the system you are using. That is which operating system you are using for your computer. This will help us to realize your problem in better way so that we can give you the correct solution. But still if you are using the Linux then use the "locate" and "find" command in the terminal to make search. You can use the option(c,d,i,r) of the same which will help you more to search the content of your. That it

These command are "whereis","locate", and "find" very useful for the search. You wont know the feature till that time you wont use i, So use it and tell me the same. Say thank if you like the same.
