I know the date can't be the first parameter but is there anyway to trick it to do this. LOL!!
Thanks!!]]>jim mager2023-02-08T20:37:32-00:00Re: Search for Files modified today

on files, I use FTPro to search in files.
I see this as the difference between searching data or searching metadata.
Or, I don't know how to do that with FoxTrot.]]>AJKS2023-02-14T17:25:47-00:00Re: Search for Files modified today

[All items of type][Any file or folder]
and then applying a date filter
[Then filter by date][Modification date][is today] ]]>johseb2023-02-15T22:13:58-00:00Re: Search for Files modified today

Search settings
1. Set: "All Items of Type" -- "Any File or Folder
2. Set: "Then Filter by Date" -- "Modification date: Is Today
Works great...now if I can only figure out how to blacklist folders instead of files only.

In this case you can use the filter "by Item kind" (which must be active, with check box marked).
1. If you only want Folders: simply click the item type "Folder"
2. If you only want files: click one item type, press ⌘A to select all of them, click on "Folder" to unselect it. If you only have 2-3 types, an alternative possibility is to click all types except "Folder" (but notice that you have to ⌘-click to add additional types after the first one).]]>johseb2023-02-17T01:05:02-00:00Re: Search for Files modified today

I'll leave my previous post in place just in case a reader is really trying to limit the search as described.]]>johseb2023-02-17T13:06:07-00:00Re: Search for Files modified today

Not sure what you mean exactly.
If you want to omit files in a specific folder when performing a search, there is no way to do so.
You may however skip files in certain folders at indexing time, using the "skipping these subfolders" list in the "indexed data" pane. This is only available for custom folders, so if you need for example to skip a subfolder in the Documents folder, create a custom folder location for "Documents" instead of selecting the predefined location.
You may then create multiple indices, and by selecting all of them or only some of them when performing a search, choose the folders you want to search or not.]]>FoxTrot Engineering2023-02-21T10:07:54-00:00
