sizedupe: (or dupe:) find a duplicates irrespective of other filtering.
When you filter using sizedupe: (or dupe:) you are only filtering what is
displayed rather then what was
found.
sizedupe: says to find all files that are duplicates by file size.
sizedupe: zip: says to find all files that are duplicate by file size, but instead of showing all those files to me, only
display those that are "zip" files.
So if your returned results for |sizedupe: zip:| are:
Code: Select all
1024000 bytes megaupload.zip
1024000 bytes megashort.zip
1048576 bytes trueupload.zip
What that means is that there are some other file(s) out there, that are 1048576 bytes, that happen not to be a "zip" files.
Code: Select all
1048576 bytes AGREP.EXE
1048576 bytes bookmarks.html
If you remove zip: from your search, sort by size, then check the results you'll find the duplicate sized files, one of which is a zip: & others that are !zip:
