I usually install 'Search Everything' from. Options like 'Last week' and 'yesterday'.Įvery version of windows explorer gets worse and worse at searching. On the other hand, if you have files all over the place, across several hard drives, a free file search tool is a must. On the second server, when I click in the search box, it has buttons I can click, one is 'Date Modified' but they only have predefined If you've always been great at naming and organizing the hundreds or thousands (or more) files on your computer, you might need one of the programs. Tells me it did not bring back all results because there are too many and the results window is too awkward to navigate.

If you don’t see the Search tab, click once in the search box and it should appear. Switch to the Search tab, click the Date Modified button, and then select a range. On one of them, I can't seem to get any advanced search options until I type at least one character in the name of the file I am searching for (but I want to search all files). File Explorer has a convenient way to search recently modified files built right into the Search tab on the Ribbon. Is this possible without 3rd party software? I want to see if there is anything unusual.

I just want to see all the files that have been modified on my Windows Server 2008 since December 1, 2010.
