    add search filter greyed out


    How do I add new search options, especially for a plain file folder. The tutorials show a bunch of options but all I see are date and size, even after I extend the size of search box.
    BTW I've read all previous posts and help on topic but answers don't apply.

    Hello Nschor, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    The yellow TIP box for "Using Search Filters" towards the bottom of this tutorial can help show you how to. :)

Q: "Date created" Search filter?
in General Discussion

In Explorer, is there any way to do a search for files CREATED on a specific date or within a range of dates? I've found the search filter using "Date modified" but not "Data created". The old XP "Search companion" did it, but that's no longer available in Windows 7, as far as I know.
