File Explorer – Day-week-month search for Libre files

users
#1

Hi my esteemed list mates,

I’d like to be able to search in Windows 10 File Explorer for Libre Writer
and Calc files by day – wee – month.

On my work PC it was set up so when I open File Explorer there is a Date
modified icon on the taskbar with a graphic of a calendar.

When you click on it, a drop-down menu appears displaying:

Today

Yesterday

This Week

This Month

Last Month

This Year

Last year

I’ve Googled this and none of the results explain how one creates this Date
modified icon on the taskbar.

Does anyone recall how they created that in their File Explorer?

Thank you!

Some facilities were apparently removed in version 1909 of Windows 10. The best you can do now is to start a search, whereupon the Search tab will appear in the ribbon, including a "Date modified" icon. If you click that, you will see a limited set of date possibilities: Today, "This month", "Last year", etc.

I trust this helps.

Are you referring to the functionality described here:

Windows 10 tip: Search for any file by date | ZDNet <https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-search-for-any-file-by-date/>

I just notice that searching in File  Explorer with something like "datemodified:this week" is not working anymore :disappointed_relieved:

Did Microsoft change this 'on purpose' or .......:confused:

Clicking just right of 'Date modified' still shows a calendar .... (I admit
never seen that calendar before....)

I tried that a few hours ago (before I wrote) and it wouldn't show; now it does! Weird.
