Search LNK files by associated file type

[JonLParis]

How can I search for shortcut files (lnk or LNK) whose actual files are associated with a default app/open with a default app?

Example: search for all lnk associated with: Excel, or Acrobat, or VLC or iTunes, etc.

argument would be with Boolean AND [associated default app]

Thanks!

With Everything 1.5 you will be able to search for:

*.lnk shortcut-target:ext:xls;xlsx
*.lnk shortcut-target:*.pdf
*.lnk shortcut-target:video:
*.lnk shortcut-target:audio:

space = AND
ext: = extension list
ext:xls;xlsx = Excel
*.pdf = Acrobat
video: = common video extensions.
audio: = common audio extensions.

shortcut-target:



Everything doesn't have a way to get the associated app yet.
I have put this on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.
