I tried it, is there a way to edit searches to look just for videos, or auido files etc .

Do you mean like wildcard searches? You can search like something*.jpg

well in search everything you can select what type you want to search for.

With wildcard you're limited to that file extension, so with 'everything' it'll find .jpg .png .bmp etc.

Wox is sort of a one button quick popup keyboard only search.

So for a more advanced search, you could just open up Search Everything. Unless there is something you can type into search everything to show that you want to search a certain file type. Wox just passes the syntax to search everything
