Search Results Limited to a Type of File

From About.com

It's easy to refine your search strings in Windows Vista.
One of the great aspects of search in Windows Vista is how easy it is to refine the search results. If you find too many files that match your initial search string, you can refine the search query to help you find the desired file quicker.

In the above screen shot, I had clicked on the Pictures button, so my search results are limited to pictures matching my search string. You can also limit your search string to your emails, documents, music, or a number of other file types. Some of the other types of information that you can limit your searches to are your email attachments, games, instant messages, recorded TV, and your Web history.
