Limit search to files created on a single date

Post by jsampson45 »

How do I do this? <myfile> dc:14/4/2022 shows nothing although I have a file created on this date. I can see the file among others if I do not try to filter on date, so it is in the database.

Please make sure Regex is unchecked under the Search menu.

Please make sure Index Date Created is enabled under Tools -> Options -> Indexes for the best performance.

Does Everything find the file if you search for any of the following:

<myfile> dc:2022
<myfile> dc:2022-04
<myfile> dc:2022-04-14

dc:14/4/2022 would also work, provided DD/MM/YYYY is your local format.

If you run Everything as an administrator, Everything may use a different locale.

Please ensure Everything is running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.

Are you comparing against date created (dc:) or date modified (dm:)?

Does the issue persist?

Thanks for your advice. It works if I turn off regex.
Kind regards
