ES.EXE any filters?

Post by daklestad »

Is it possible to specify a date created filter using the command line es.exe?

All I see are options for formatting the output, not a way to limit the results other than based on the filename?

Thanks,
Darren

Something like:

Code: Select all

 ES.exe dc:last5minutes
should do the trick (you can use the same query language like in Everything)

Note: If you havent indexed the creation date (Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes : Enable Index date created plus Fast date created sort, this query might take some time.

Added to the ES support page:
ES uses the Everything search syntax.

Thank you so much. Sorry I hadn't actually tried it, I was being a bit too literal reading the es documentation!
