Hi, If I do a search for something, I usually enable the "auto collections" to group headers together so that I can look at the the total size of the "auto collection" in the size column of the search results.

I can filter the results by typing in the "Size (KB)" field, but then that almost certainly fails me. The problem is, the "Size: (KB)" only affects headers, not auto collections.

If I want to exclude auto collections ranging in size from 9+ GB and less than 4GB (So that ***only*** auto collections ranging in size from ~4-8GB are visible), how would I go about doing that? Would I be able to use a search pattern to do it?

Thanks,

hello?

Thou it might be different in the 64bits ue version but I believe you can't.

I think the max single value for "Size (KB)" is 2^22=4194304 but the max value that can be used is (2^22)-1
You'll get even less possible values using a range like "x-y"

Basically you can fairly put a ">4000000" to get collection size greater than 4GB in 10^3 term or 3.81...GB in 2^x term.
Or you can simply put ">4194303" as this is the best and last usable number for your case.

Thou you might wanna discuss that in the "Development" section

missed the post.

this part of the code is older from before collections and it is also connected to filters.

it stores this particular field in bytes for filters, but as to the string in the quick filter bar i think it just stores the string, so the current limit is 4GB, as the last reply suggest you can make it >4GB. sort from other side works with any size.

i could try to store size in KBs then the limit would be around 4096GB, would affect permanent filters where size or lines are used, instead of KB values would become MB, say if it was 1KB you would see 1024 but then manual adjustment back to 1 would do.

from other side for practical purposes 4GB seems to be ok as well.

it is not search specific.
