Question

unable to search by a date or date range in Windows Explorer

Denis Meusy 21

We have a user who is unable to search by a date or date range in Windows Explorer. Searching by name returns results. This seems to have started after upgrading to 20H2. This appears to be profile specific

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
I have not had a chance to get with the e user yet. The link provided does not look to have any relevant information. I did find this page, https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/file-explorer-search-not-working.html
Which suggested a few items I have not yet tried. I am going to try rebuilding the Search index but I am not confident that will clear the issue.

Hi,
Rebuilding the search index did not change anything. At this point I am looking at rebuilding the OS. Do you have any other ideas for shaking up the Windows search to try and get it to find items by date range?
