Hello

I'm trying to search for a file that I think was created between 14:00 and
16:00 hrs yesterday. I have no idea of its name or extension. I cannot find
out how to get into 'advanced search' without entering part of the filename
..

Can someone help pls ?

Thanks

K

Hello Trebor,

Unless you need to search non-indexed locations, you can simply type your
query into the search window in Windows Explorer. Something like this
will return the files created yesterday:

created:yesterday

You can then sort the results by the date created column to make it easy
to see files created during those hours.

Otherwise, press Winkey +F to show the main search window, then click on
"Advanced Search" on the right side of the toolbar.
