The advanced search is more customizable than any of the predefined searches. It can combine different filter patterns with date, size, or even attribute filters.
You can add multiple advanced searches and assign different search criteria to each of them. You can, for instance, create a custom search for audio files that were are larger than a certain threshold, and another custom search for files with paths that exceed a length of 255 characters. Each of these searches can be activated and deactivated separately, so you can store a set of custom searches where each serves a different purpose. The ribbon menu can be used to create, rename, or delete custom searches, or to set up the general parameters of the current search.

Select Template
This button on the left hand side of the application allows to select from a range of predefined search definitions. This list serves as an entry point for many different user cases, from which your search definition can be fully customized or extended.
Defining a new search configuration should always start with the selection of a suitable template. Once a template that matches the use case is found and selected, TreeSize will automatically load a predefined configuration for this scenario into the user interface. From there, your definition can be adjusted to fit your requirements. You can add new filters, existing ones can be modified or removed. Selecting a template shall also help you find the correct filter types for your specific use case.
Using the advanced search
A search configuration for the advanced search consists of one, or multiple search filters, which can be combined freely. You can, for instance, select whether a file has to match all filters (combine via 'And'), or if only at least one of them (combine via 'Or') has to match. A detailed description about how to create filter definitions can be found here.
