I'm trying to do an advanced search, looking for files that were modified on
a particular day. In the advanced search....I'm trying to do a search of
"C" using date as the criteria. Can you tell me how to do that? When I
try, the search button isn't reactive.

Thanks

Winkey+f. Click the Advanced Search down arrow to reveal additional
search options. Change Location to the C drive using the dropdown.

Leave 'Date' alone. Change 'Any' to 'Is' and in the next drop down,
choose your date. Check the box for "Include non-indexed, hidden and
system files."

Alternative method: Open explorer and navigate to the C: drive, in the
search box key 'date:=mm/dd/yyyy' where mm/dd/yyyy is the day you want
to search. The only difference in this method is that you won't find
hidden and system files.

Hope this helped.
