Any Windows search gurus here?

[impulse]

I have about 40,000 videos across 6 hard drives in several hundred file folders, collected over 20+ years in Asia.  I use Everything  file utility and I love it.  It searches by some variables across all drives and all folders, but it doesn't allow searching files by "Author" (or any of the zillion file attributes that Windows allows to be attached to each file).

 

I'd like to clean up my mess a little by creating folders for videos by specific Authors.  Is anyone aware of a file search utility that can do that across 6 HDs and hundreds of folders?  There's several out there that search by the usual, file type, size, name, etc.  But I haven't found one that will search by "Author" or "Length".  May be interesting to search by other variables and clean up my similarly disastrous collection of music files. 

 

Even better would be to search "Videos" and have "Author" be one of the sort headings at the top of the page.

 

In case anyone wants to go there, I have no porn files that I'm aware of.  Just to nip that conversation in the bud.

I don't know that one.  I'll look into that.  Thanks.

Old, but should give you an idea.

Thanks.  I'm using version 1.4.1....  I'll see if I can update when I get settled into my hotel here.
