Show today's files

Post by jsampson45 »

In Everything Version 1.4.1.935 (x64) on Windows 10, started today, and re-indexed today, how do I show files created today? If I type "dm:today" or "dc:today" nothing shows up.

create a new file (such that it meets the dm:today criteria)
change the search to dm:today

anything turn up?

if not,

change to an empty search
do files turn up?

check your (menu) Search options
anything in there that may be filtering out your expected search?
(like if Audio filter enabled, & were expected to see newly created .txt files)

Many thanks. Nothing turned up until I deselected "Enable Regex". Then all today's files appeared. AFAIK the colon in "dm:today" should have no special meaning in a regex but presumably Everything does not agree.

Of course, there is special meaning in Regex.
Your full text is used as characters to search for.
The syntax of dm: can't be recognized this way

Please consider the pure_regex advanced setting in Everything 1.5
