Leverage Parentheses for Enhanced File Search Precision

January 26, 2024
TreeSize v9.1 adds the ability to refine file search queries with parentheses, enabling you to find files more easily.

TreeSize by JAM Software is a powerful disk space management tool that helps you regain control of your storage on Windows systems. It scans drives and displays detailed, interactive visualizations of space usage, pinpointing folders and files hogging the most space. With advanced search, cleanup tools, and reporting functions, TreeSize empowers users to analyze, organize, and reclaim valuable disk space, making it useful for everyday users and power users.

The TreeSize v9.1 update allows you to use parentheses in the "Simple Search" function to refine your query, thereby yielding more targeted results. For example, if you wanted to search for text files named "license" or "readme", you could enter: "(license, readme) *.txt" which would return files that has either word rather than both. This improvement significantly enhances search accuracy, which makes for more efficient and productive information retrieval.
