Thank you for the tips on searching. I spent the last half hour trying to find this using MS help and you explain both text and gui in one quick screen

Many thanks for the clear description of using Vista Search by date range article. It was most helpful.

Modified works slightly. But F3 does NOT work, at least if you have Google desktop. Indeed, if you turn Google desktop off, F3 just turns on Google desktop again. Ugggh.

Firstly, to Ewald Gold�s q about not being able to find the advanced search button, yes ironically I had to do a search for “advanced search” before that turned up. but then it did.

Secondly, and more gushingly, I love you all for this How-to and following comments. It saved me from an imminent and violent hissy fit, I absolutely concur with the comments re the frustration of this silly change to a non-intuitive method, but reading that I was not the only one banging my head against this particular wall was a great relief. Thanks to all ).

Just when I was hoping I was comfortable with Vista, I thought I would lose my mind searching for files with a date range. Microsoft really missed the boat with this one. The date range search was sooooo easy in XP. Thank you for your help!

Is there any software that would give me the search capacities on Vista that I have on XP.

Thanks so much for this!!!! You are now prominently bookmarked as a “most-helpful-resource”. I was beginning to think I was nuts for wanting this function (date to date search) back when Vista is supposed to be soooo advanced (Hah!). I agree with all of the above in spades.
