About File Search

File Search is one of the main windows in Autopsy. By using File Search, you can specify, filter, and show the directories and files that you want to see from the images in the current opened case.

Currently, Autopsy only supports 3 categories in File Search: Name, Size, and Date based search.
Note: For now, Autopsy doesn't support keyword search and regular expression.
