Can I search for files by date in File Explorer? (FAQ)

Have you recently saved a file but can’t remember its name or where you saved it? Here’s a quick solution: use the search function in File Explorer with date filters like “yesterday,” “last week,” or a specific modification date to narrow down your results. Windows 11 also offers handy date filters through its search options. This way, you can locate your file much faster – without the hassle of rummaging through every single folder.
