Limiting search results by file date

[rsbrux]

I find the search function very useful and I use it a lot. However, It often delivers a large number of irrelevant results when I am only looking for a recent file. How can I limit the search to files having a creation or modification time since a particular date or within a particular date range?

Hi, rsbrux

I am afraid there is no function to filter based on file creation timestamp. You might have to limit the target files by date first.

sorry

Thanks for your response. I don't often check in here and only now became aware of it.
How would you suggest that I "limit the target files by date first"

Hi, rsbrux

sorry, by that I meant you might need to arrange your source files into date groupings by folder or otherwise limit the files you are searching to only newer ones.

We don't have a way to do that in the search tool.
