How do I search for a Word (.doc) file modified between a date ran

The vista search is sometimes faster than XP seach, but XP gave me many
parameters to search by such as:

- File name
- content text
- file size
-date range
- file type

You could even combine the parameters.

I am having a tough time limited my search to data, file type, and content
text.

Suggestions and/or reference?

Thanks,

Barman,

Perfect. The answer was so far away and yet so close.

Hi Steve,

You may use Advanced Query Syntax to refine searches in Vista (and WDS).
