The Created search enables users to search based on the date a document was created. Users can search based on a variety of criteria: documents created on a particular date, before or after a particular date, during a particular period, or within a certain number of days, weeks, months or years.
To search for documents by creation date
- In the Search Pane, select More... next to Select a search type to open the Search Attributes dialog box.
- Select Show next to Created to add it to the Search Pane.
Note: By default, this search type is not in the Select a search type menu, but it can be added by selecting In Menu next to the search type in the Search Attributes dialog box.
- Select one of the following from the drop-down menu:
- Any time: Returns all entries created at any time. This option is useful if the date range does not matter. For example, if you choose Any time, it temporarily removes the date range criteria from the search without removing the actual search type, Created, from the Search Pane. This would be a good way to experiment with different date ranges without removing the search type completely.
- Today: Returns all entries created on the same day the search is performed.
- Since yesterday: Returns all entries created on the same day the search is performed or the day before.
- This week: Returns all entries created on or since the first day of the week. The first day of the week varies depending on location settings, but is generally Sunday or Monday.
- Within last 2 weeks: Returns all entries created since the first day or the prior week. The first day of the week varies depending on location settings, but is generally Sunday or Monday.
- This month: Returns all entries created since the first day of the month.
- Within last 2 months: Returns all entries created since the first day of the prior month.
- Within last: Allows the user to specify a number of days, weeks, months, or years, and then returns all entries that were created in that time period.
- Exactly: Allows the user to specify a date, and then returns all entries that were created on that date.
- Before: Allows the user to specify a date, and then returns all entries that were created before that date.
- After: Allows the user to specify a date, and then returns all entries that were created after that date.
- Between: Allows the user to specify two dates, and then returns all entries that were created between those dates, including the specified dates.
- Click Search.
