    Unable to search by a date or date range in Windows Explorer


    We have a user who is unable to search by a date or date range in Windows Explorer. Searching by name returns results. This seems to have started after upgrading to 20H2. This appears to be profile specific

    We have tried running the troubleshooter, restarting the Search application and removing Bing from Windows search

    :)

    Date Range Searching By Date Created Stalled

    Hi, this works for me:

    Unable to search by a date or date range in Windows Explorer [​IMG]


    and have you tried this for a date range:

    Then there are 3rd party free find-as-you-type tools which don't mean you have to remember or look up syntax:

    - they don't index content though.

    Unable to search by a date or date range in Windows Explorer

    Date Range Searching By Date Created Stalled

    I am having two problems from within the search tool.
    1. I cannot change the default Date Modified to Date Created.
    2. I cannot set an exact date range, say August 12,2018 to August 29, 2018.
    When I try to fine tune the date range File Explore crashes.

    Very vexing. So need to get to files in this way. Any help will be appreciated,
