Search Function by Minute & Hours ?

Post by Flourgrader »

Hi All,
I am running Everything 1.5. Alpha (1356a) (x64)
on a Windows 11 PC
I am wanting to locate files which have been Created
within a period of time!
I know how to use:
dm:today
dm:yesterday
so I am assuming there may be a command
to view all files created in the last minutes &
Last hours from the search Bar.
Could someone please give me a few examples
of the correct way you would express this in the Search Bar
Thank You very much...

Use dc: for date created.

To easily setup a date created search range:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Advanced Search.
  • Scroll down and set the Date Created range.
  • Click OK.
dc:
Date Syntax



To find files created in the last minute:
dc:1min



To find files created in the last hour:
dc:1hour



Date created information is not indexed by default.
For instant searching, please enable date created indexing:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Check Index Date Created.
  • Click OK.

I like how you can find files & Folders created
in the last few mins or Hours.
It works very well!
I am curious to know?
Is it possible to do the reverse
and look to see which files were deleted in the last few minutes & Hours ?
Thank You for the Info.

To view deleted files:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Index menu, click Index Journal (Ctrl + Shift + I).
  • In the Index Journal, change Action to: File Delete.
  • Sort by ID and look at the date.
