After doing a lot of searching, I found a way to search for a file with a
specific modified date. Once you have opened the drive or folder where you
want to look for a file, tab to the search box and type:
System.DateModified:mm/dd/
Be aware that there are capital letters and lower case ones. I do not know
if it matters if you have to be case sensitive. You will also need to do a
2 digit month and day, and a 4 digit year.
Now I've got to be honest, I did not finish typing in the above text. At
some point I heard JAWS announcing something and I then found that I could
use my up and down arrows to select if I wanted to look for a file from last
week, earlier this week, yesterday, etc. I picked yesterday and pressed
enter and I got the results I needed.
Here is the URL to where I found this info:

indows
Once on the webpage, press T and you will find a small table with examples
of other search terms.
HTH,

Subject: [Blind-Computing] searching for a file
I want to find all files that were modified on a specific date that are
stored on an external hard drive. I am using Windows 7 and JAWS 12. Can
anyone help me?
