Do you remember the good old days of Windows XP where Windows Explorer had a drop-down box in the search dialog where the keywords you could use were listed?
Well, that drop-down box has been gone for a decade.
BUT, the keywords are still available but not discoverable as far as I can tell.
Recently I was trying to find all the photos I had taken with my iPhone X. I could see that the detail information was there.
In a list of files in Windows Explorer, right click on a file and choose "Properties" all the way at the bottom.
In the pop-up window, click on the "Details" tab. There's a ton of information there. If you could only search on it!
Well, you can.
I found this on the Wayback Machine.
It's 10 years old but still works fine.
In my case, I put
cameramodel:"iPhone X"
in the search field of Windows Explorer and got just what I wanted.
Search around in that Wayback Machine article and see what you can find.
