Available several search criteria. You can use everyone at the same time, several or some of them. It all depends on what information about the desired folder is known to you. If you are not sure about certain things, you should not specify them in the search parameters - the system will simply give a negative result if you make an error. For example, you can specify the name of the file (or part of the name you know exactly). Remember: better less, but correctly, the more, but at random.

If you are looking for a file, you can specify a separate phrase or the word that is precisely contained in it (again, according to the "accurate minimum" principle). To speed up the process, you can narrow the search boundaries. To do this, specify in the column "Search in" possible locations of the folder (file). Naturally, it is appropriate when you definitely know what disk the document is saved. If you are not sure - check the entire computer. You will spend a little more time, but guaranteed to get the result.
