I am looking for the advanced search options to find files from Windows
Explorer.
But 'WE' has very limited options to narrow the files I am searching for;
for example, duration, "bit rate" and other attributes of audio/video and
pixels of image files. - especially to find a file within the file size, to
say between 3 mb and 4 mb. Is there any other software that can help this?

Click the Start Menu, Open "Help and Support", then search help for
"search syntax". The first entry in the results "Tips for finding files"
will give you the help you need for advanced searches.
