[h=2]Finding Your Files with Search and Libraries :6

[h=3]Introduction

At this point, you are likely ready to start organizing and accessing your files and content. Windows 7 has developed search and libraries to make it easier to find, maneuver, and customize your files.

In this lesson, we will show you how to access your content through search and libraries. In addition, we will highlight the features that offer customization and convenience including tagging, search filters, creating libraries and more.

Finding Your Files with Search and Libraries :6

​

What are Libraries?



Most users access their files through "My Documents", the "C" drive, or from other locations like a server or back up drive. You are likely accustomed to sorting through tiered stacks of folders to get to your content. This process can be time consuming, especially if you cannot remember where an item is filed. Microsoft wanted to make "finding your stuff" easier, so they developed Libraries.
Libraries are collections of your stored content that can be easily accessed through the Desktop Search function. Libraries do not replace your folders, they simply house them in a single collection. When files are placed in a Library, their properties are indexed by the Search function. This indexing makes accessing files in Search quick and easy.

There are four default Libraries in Windows 7: Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos. Later in this lesson, we will also show you how to create Libraries of your own.

[h=4]Search Options and Features Search and Libraries have a few features that assist with identifying and arranging items. Tags can be added to certain items in order to improve Search results.

[h=3]A New Approach to Accessing Content Libraries are collections of content defined by the user. They are the new "entry point" for accessing your files. Therefore, when Saving items, Windows 7 will direct you to Libraries. Libraries have automatic default save folders. Unless specified, your content will be saved in the default folder of the Library it matches.

• You can change the default save folder by selecting Locations in the Tool Bar.

You are not required to save or access your content through Libraries. The Navigation pane gives you access to Computer where your folders and drives are stored. You may still sort through the tiered stacks of folders in the classic way to save and access content.

[h=3]Conclusion As we mentioned before, you determine what content goes into your Libraries. You may decide to use the default libraries or create your own. Either way, you will need to take the time to move folders into the Libraries you desire.
You can still continue to access your files in the classic way of sorting through tiered stacks, but you will not be able to take advantage of the convenience of the Search function. It's a new way of accessing your files and may take some customization to work as effectively as you wish. Take some time to reconsider your filing system and how you would like to access your files.
