Search for "last edited by" or "last saved by"

Hi forum,

Search documents for the specified author.
Examples:
author:"John Doe"
author:"Jane Doe"
Is it also possible to search for the person who last edited (i.e. last saved) certain files?

Code: Select all

last-author:"Donna"
There are *a lot* of these property related functions. The general way to discover them:
  • Right-click the header of the result list (for example on "Name")
  • Select Add columns from the context menu [1]
  • Select the right property(/ies). In this case Everything Properties > Document: Last author.
  • Click OK
  • Right-click Last Author in the header of the result list
  • Select Search for Last Author from the context menu.
In the search bar last-author: will be shown.
The column(s) can be removed if no longer needed.


[1] Common properties are listed directly in the context menu; in this case Document > Origin > Last Author
