David,
I have not needed to relocate a lost file name on my shellworld account in
more than 25 years.
Meaning this is the first time ever, and why I reached for a tool I felt
added nothing whatsoever to the infrastructure here.
The problem has been solved in any case.

David,
My personal circumstances have nothing to do with the nature of this task.
I have no interest in your /personal/ circumstances.
dreamhost manages the shell accounts of my employer.
Forgive me—I should have said use rather than purchase.
Including the workspaces, more than one of them I use for my jobs.
www.curtainupdistribution.org
www.commongroundmedia.ca
Shellworld hosts my personal website, as well as providing this account.
Well at least I guessed that shellworld is the one involved here.
One rather intense reminder I get from the shellworld side is about
the use of space, files, configurations and so forth.
therefore, as I literally cannot reach my office workspace, or check
my gmail account without the door shellworld provides i. e.openssh
stopped supporting direct dh keys that dreamhost allows years ago, i
personally choose to leave this infrastructure alone.
That's why I included instruction on how to run the attachment
I posted without having to put it into whatever shell configuration
you have. The bash -c command first sources the saved attachment,
and then it runs it with the three arguments, piping the potentially
voluminous output into less.
Add that the situation leading to my question is my first in over 25
years, and well.

Sorry, I don't understand "situation", whether it's to do with your
having to search for a file you created during a certain time
interval, or whether it's to do with your shell account, about which
I know the same as a few days ago, ie precious little.
Cheers,
David.
