Find attachments in Gmail

[100%]

Here is a trick to find attachments in Gmail. I found it useful. For either locating and or deleting large files.

"Search by file type. I used the following search phrases:
filename:wmv -label:nodelete
filename:mov -label:nodelete
filename:mp3 -label:nodelete (this one was pretty weak since MP3 is common in text)
filename:doc -label:nodelete
filename:pdf -label:nodelete
filename:jpg -label:nodelete
etc
etc

That's neat, hope I can remember to use it if i ever need to search for an attachment. :P

I just discovered how useful the search in gmail really is a few days ago when I was looking for the login details to a peice of software I bought... :)

actually simply
search for .pdf , .jpg etc etc comes up with same results but also adds whats in your trash

Searching those will find it in the actual message though, not just searching attachment filenames.
