I needed to do something REALLY simple – All I wanted to do was show which files in a folder and it’s subfolders had been modified after a certain date.
The problem was trying to get to the advanced search. I finally found what I wanted but I’m not sure exactly how I got there. The search engine has some nifty boolean type modifiers IF you know how to use them. I finally just did a dumb search and then got the “advanced search” link at the bottom. That wasn’t showing what I wanted until I realized that my dumb search was still in the search box… ie. 123 modified:7/1/08 All I had to do was get rid of the 123 and I was OK.
Come on Microsoft… What are you guys thinking?? Why should I have to go on a steenking scavenger hunt just to find the advanced search. Dontcha think that people might need to search once in a while??
