The "Search" in Windows Explorer.

I have thousands of photos and I need to select these from
miscellaneous folders into a specific size, specific
dimensions, B&W/colour, colour cast etc.

Can WindowsXP explorer be adjusted to do this, or is there
some 3rd-party software to do the job?

Being able to search and select pixel density would be a
help too.

Please help, Frank

Is Windows (Desktop) Search 4 installed?

No, I've never heard of it. Where can I get this?

I have downloaded it and I will check it out. I have done
a quick test of the options and the only thing different
from the normal WindowsXP explorer seems to be the ability
to search on the dimensions of photos. Still, this will be
a help. I have thousands of scrambled photos to be sorted
into groups & sets.

Thanks

YMMV. I only asked if Windows (Desktop) Search was installed, I didn't
recommend installing it.
