How to search only certain file types

[AlexanderSmit]

Hi. I'm new to Everything. Only been using it a few days. I would like to get help on my setting in order to ONLY DISPLAY CERTAIN FILE TYPES IN MY SEARCH RESULT. For example: When I search for the Word file named "ABC" I get a list of results including .link and .docx.url. I have just one file on my computer named ABC and now I have to filer the search result myself before just clicking on the Word file I wanted to find. I love the in-depth search but I would like to exclude the above-mentioned file types from all my searches. How do I do this?

My question is not resolved yet. Even when I search with ww as a prefix, it gives me the same results. I end up with 3 options named:
1. abc. dox
2. abc.lnk
3. abc.docx.url

I would like to eliminate the second and third options from my search result. How do I do that?

Everything likes to show all files by default.

There are a few ways to hide these files:

1) Change the active filter to documents.

• In Everything, from the View menu, click Filters.
• This will show a filter bar in the toolbar.
• Change the filter from Everything to Documents.
• This will limit your results to documents only.
• You can move this Filter bar to the left if you drag the divider (the gap between the filter bar and search box) all the way to the left.

Filters can also be activated from the Search menu, right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.

2) Exclude lnk and url files from your index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Change exclude files to:
  *.lnk;*.url
• Click OK.

3) Search for the file type

Try the following searches:

abc doc:
-This will use the Documents filter without the need to change the active filter.

-or-

abc *.docx

-or-

abc ext:docx;doc
