Google Docs search settings

Welcome to the new and improved Google Docs search settings. For those of us extensively using Google Docs, searching for a document can be a tricky thing.

When you go to the Google Docs website, the documents are ordered in the descending date order. That may not be very helpful, but lucky for us Google also has the best search engine so they borrowed a few features from there.

Here are the current options you can search documents on in Google Docs:

• has the words
• named ( of course....)
• type ( this one's nice, you can search by document type OR folder
• search ( all items, owned by me, starred, hidden, etc)
• search folders
• sharing
• shared with ( this one's also useful, as most use Google Docs for it's sharing capabilities)
• owner is ( email address of owner)
• date

A cool thing that you can also do is save the search , by giving it a name, for latter use.
