About this tag
AQS syntax, or Advanced Query Syntax, is a powerful filtering language built into Windows Search that lets you narrow results by file type, date modified, author, size, and other metadata. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss practical AQS queries to speed up local searches, reduce noise from web results, and find documents faster without third-party tools. Common examples include using 'kind:email', 'ext:pdf', 'datemodified:lastweek', and combining operators like 'AND', 'OR', and 'NOT'. The tag covers real-world tips for applying AQS syntax in Windows 10 and 11, including how to type queries directly into the search box or File Explorer. It is relevant for anyone looking to master Windows Search beyond basic keywords.
