Help with searching last 50 items

Post by wumpawizza »

Hi

I'm currently using "dm:past730hours" with the drop-down menu set to Documents, which will display documents modified within the last 30 days

I'm trying to work out the best way to search for the last 50 items modified, specifically word documents, regardless of the time

Any help will be appreciated

- Activate the Documents filter (optionally, but you already do that)
- Sort results by Date Modified (click on the Date Modified header of the result list
- Type or paste the following in the search bar:

Code: Select all

ext:doc;docx  count:50
- Done :)

Note: the order is important; make sure you sort first, before entering the search query.

Neat. Now I can just save it as a bookmark for quick access

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
