Windows 10: How to restore the option to select the date in the searching menu of Windows 11 explorer

Hello community,I would like to know how to restore the option to select the date in the search options of windows explorer. It seems that it disappeared on its own about 1 month ago and only offers me these choices as shown in attached photo 1. I searched hard but no option was able to include the famous option. Is there a connection with the indexing which is suspended as shown in image 2.Please help me to restore this option.Thank you in advance.

Feature suggestions - move to proper menus, add Options window

Suggestions:
1) Remove main menus from top left menu (system menu) and move them to a standard Windows menu, at the top.
Leave the 6 system menu items (Restore --- Close) in system menu, move all the rest to that standard main menu. The main menu can be auto-hidable - pressing Alt key to invoke it or hide it, similar to the way IE11 menus and many Windows 10 built-in apps' menus work.

2) And/or, add an Options menu or button, which would invoke a separate screen with GPU-Z Options, similar to how most Windows apps work.
Most Windows apps have a separate Options screen, which GPU-Z lacks - one should be added.

Thanks in advance for listening!

 

why is the windows 11 file explorer modified date search option so hidden?

Why is the Windows 11 file explorer modified date search option so hidden? It used to be easy to enter a modified date range search. Now in Windows 11 it seems limited but one you get the unknown command, then all these other options show up. Recommend to show all these options on the first menu so we know the capabilities of the search. It would be much easier.

 

Using File Explorer to search by date range

I rarely use File Explorer because I find it one of the least user-friendly facilities I've ever come across. But now I need to search a folder and its sub-folders for all files created or modified between 2 particular dates. My experience thus far is:

• I want to search 'Current folder' and 'All subfolders', but only one can be selected -- I presume 'All subfolders' includes the current folder, but that's not what the words say;
  
• under "Date modified", I tried 'Last year' and 'Last month' to see how they worked -- both searches brought up 1 file only, when I know there are many files that fit each of those parameters!
  
• a search of Microsoft Community elicited several references to a calendar appearing when 'Date modified' is selected -- but no such calendar has ever appeared for me!
  
• so, based on other Microsoft Community suggestions, I tried searching for 'modified:15/11/21-5/1/22' -- nil result, even though many files were created or modified within that range!
  

So, my questions are:

1. How do I get File Explorer to work properly for 'Last year' or for a selected date range?
   
2. Are there any non-Microsoft file explorer apps that are more user-friendly (ie, easier to use) than MS File Explorer?
   

Thank you in anticipation.
