How to search by time

Post by anmac1789 »

Hello, I know we can search by dates but what about searching by the time ? For example, How can I search for files/folders from a specific time or time range ? Thanks

file:dm-time:17:30..18:30 use in conjunction with a date.
Or dm:last5mins

Stamimail..I just noticed that the dating system works on an American format, not a European one, even though the correct format is shown in the search results.
ie: 20191231 but not 31122019 (the civilised way) :0)

Any idea of the reason? otherwise I'll query it with void.

Everything supports ISO 8601 (eg: 20191231)

Otherwise, use slashes (/) or dashes (-) to separate day/month/year (or year/month/day depending on locale)

Is there a shorter way of doing this?
file:dm:19-jan-2022t15:00..file:dm:19-jan-2022t16:55
eg: file:dm:19-jan-2022t15:00..t15:30

Also, if I wanted to find the files modified at two specific times.
eg: 15:01 and 15:49
