| Ultimate X64 | Search query help Having a bit of a tough time learning the Advanced Query Language. I'm trying to find folders that BEGIN with something. I figured out that I should use kind:folders, but can only find information on how to query if the folder name contains something, not begins with. Let's say that I wanted to find all folders with a name that begins with the letter B. What would be the correct query string for this? Thanks. |
