Passing the same value to multiple search functions at once?

Post by raccoon »

v1.5

Say I want to search for all files that have a Date Modifed OR Date Created OR Date Recently Changed OR Date Changed OR Date Accessed with the same value of "last10minutes". But I only want the parameter "last10minutes" to appear once in my search query, so that it can be easily modified and affect all 5 search patterns. Is this possible? ie:

Code: Select all

<date-created:|date-modified:|date-changed:|date-recently-changed:|date-accessed:>last10mins

I think I found my own solution.

Create a bookmark named "Macro AnyDate".
Set the Custom Search to "date-created:search:|date-modified:search:|date-changed:search:|date-recently-changed:search:|date-accessed:search:"
Set the Macro to "anydate<search>"

Usage: anydate:today
Results: At least one of the 5 datestamps were changed today.
