Extend Quick Search syntax - ext, size, comments, folders (regex, saved searches?)

Post by *hi5 »

( I know about QuickSearch eXtended, I personally just don't like it as I find it lags too much on my computers, it is useful, but not for me I'm afraid )

I would like see Quick Search extended with additional search options to filter by ext, size, comments perhaps others - ( I realize this is possible via other means, but I just prefer typing )

Syntax could something along these lines, if Quick Search contains a > it is something special:
>e png (extension)
>s 1024 (file size, perhaps +/- to indicate larger, smaller -1024 all files smaller then 1kb)*
>c text in comments
>f (e.g. folders only)
>d date (yyyymmdd)
>o age days/months/years. perhaps +/- to indicate newer/older)
>a attributes
>r regex query
>x saved search name
example:

log>e txt -> all txt files starting with 'log'
