Feature request: Search for specific object type #353

It is very useful if you can add a filter for search object types .. I mean "files" , "folders" , "shortcuts to files" and/or "symbolic links to folders".

I suggest you add this filter using check boxes in settings .. That allows "grepWin" to search for one type or more than one type at the same time .. Examples are "files" only .. Or "folders" and "files" .. Or "files" and "shortcuts" and "symbolic links" .. Or any other combination .. Including "all types" (which is the current situation).

FYI .. i use a trick to force "grepWin" to search only for "folders" by specifying the size of the files to be "equal to Zero" .. And to force searching for only "files" by specifying file size to be "greater than Zero".

It is also very useful to add the object type to the search results.
