- **File Attribute Filtering**: Filter by size, creation date, and modification date
- **Content Search**: Support for searching within text file contents
- **File Type Filtering**: Filter by file types such as text, image, audio, video, application
- **Case Sensitivity Option**: Configure whether filename matching is case-sensitive
- **Recursive Search**: Option to search subdirectories
- **Search Limitations**: Set maximum number of results and time limits
