Since installing Windows Desktop Search there have been a few syntax items I’ve used on pretty much a daily basis. The first is is:<type>. This lets you specify the type of content you are looking for. Syntax: is:<type> In my case, I generally look for emails, so I use: is:email
The next is limiting to the author. Once again, the logical syntax is: author:<name> Example: author:robert
Finally, I limit by date ranges. The date options are amazingly powerful and all use the syntax date:<range>. Examples:
date:mondaydate:thismonthdate:lastyear
Finally, here’s an example that puts it all together: is:email author:robert date:lastyear CRM
Update: The website is no longer hosted at Hetzner—it is now at Web Hosting Buzz. The reason for the move is not because of any issues at Hetzner; they were great. However, the cost was a major factor—I now pay the same in a year as I used to pay in a month!
The website is slowly getting rebuilt/re-uploaded, so relax, it will be up soon😉
What happened: In 2006, all access rights to my previous host were revoked, and all my email addresses were removed.
A good friend also started to have issues with the same hosting company that previously offered him free email-only hosting, due to many favours he had done for the hosting company. The hosting company is now sending him invoices and suspending his service too. The cause of this is an internal management change, and the new owners do not want to comply with our agreements with the old owners.
As such, I moved my domain to Hetzner. They had a special at the time and offered great discounts on paying in advance. In addition, they offer a great management system, which does everything I need (I have only dealt with one person, and that was a question about whether they offered Mono on their hosting—they don’t).
Why is it not ASP.NET? because Hetzner does not offer Microsoft Windows hosting or Mono on their Linux servers.
