Search for files and folders by date:
The more files you have, the more frustrating it can be to find the exact one you’re looking for. That’s especially true when you’re using search terms that are common to dozens or even hundreds of saved documents.
One great way to narrow the list is to enter a date-related search operator along with matching parameters, using the search box in the upper-right portion of File Explorer (Windows Explorer in Windows 7). For example, datemodified:2013 tax allows you to filter search results to show only files that contain the word tax and were last saved in 2013.
The search parameter you enter after the colon can be any date, even a partial one. So datemodified: June 2016 works even with the space included. To find only files before or after a given date, use the > and < operators, as in datemodified: >1/1/2016
If you prefer a point-and-click interface, just type datemodified: by itself and use the calendar or predefined options below it.
In Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, you’ll find date-related shortcuts on the Search tab, which appears on the File Explorer ribbon when you click in the search box.
