the_eddster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is it possible to search for files by date created or date modified? For example, I'd like to find all the files created on the 28th of April. Link to comment
Vero Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is it possible to search for files by date created or date modified? For example, I'd like to find all the files created on the 28th of April. You can create a file filter and set the search scope to be today, last 3/7/30 days or older than 30 days. For example, I have a file filter called "new" for files 3 days old or less: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5818788/Alfred/3%20Days%20of%20Documents.alfredworkflow Type "new" followed by the spacebar to begin a filtered search, e.g. "new index" or type "new" with two spaces to list entries by latest.

Thanks, this may come useful. Is there not a way to search for a specific date? Link to comment
Vero Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks, this may come useful. Is there not a way to search for a specific date? This isn't possible in Alfred by default, but it's likely that a script could be created, allowing you to specify a date in a workflow. I've moved your thread to the "Workflow help & questions" section so that fellow Alfred users can help you out Link to comment
Bob Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Has this feature been added to Alfred yet? If not, does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks so much. Cheers, Bob Link to comment
mkborregaard Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'd like this feature too. Link to comment
deanishe Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yes. Alfred 3 allows you to dynamically set the filter parameters in a File Filter. If you can provide a concrete example, it would be fairly straightforward to build you a demo workflow. Link to comment
Starkiller Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The search option to find files created and or modified in the last 3 Days sounds awesome. Problem is, the download provided above does not work anymore. Can someone help? All the Best! Link to comment
