Modify LOADSEARCH or new command with parameters

Post by *Gral »

Sometimes i think about possibility of search with search dialog window filled with properties based on file under cursor, kind of search duplicate of current file or just load from command options, not from saved search, so command with parameter would be useful and, as LOADSEARCH already exists and works other way, it could be modified to accept modifiers and parameters for load properties of file under cursor additionally or new command called e.g. SEARCHFILES or SEARCHSIMILARFILES working way similar to OPENATTRIBUTES.
Such a command should support many modifiers and parameters.
Each of modifers alone should load properties from file under cursor, while modifiers with parameters should allow change loaded property according to value of parameter, e.g.

N - name, <prefix>N<suffix>, N[n-n](part)
E - extension, <prefix>E<suffix>, E[n-n](part)
S - size "S-" smaller, S+ bigger
D - date "D-" older, "D+" newer
T - time "T-" older, "T+" newer
other options
E - use Everything for search
A - attributes, arhscde
C - search in archives
X - search text - wcrhfadu8op - as in dialog window
F - duplicate, n - name, s - size, c - content, p - plugin fields
P - search path only (and below with +nn number deep)
R - search drives, the same, other defined by letters
and so on.

This is for consideration how this should work when multiple files are selected.
Search for all, or e.g. first 20 names is a good start point
Maybe should search also for files sizes and dates in range of selected files.

For really complex searches loading saved search is probably better choice.
