Searching for newly created folders?
Searching for newly created folders?
Shouldn't type:"file folder" dc:today work? Maybe i need some re-indexing then? Not sure.
Re: Searching for newly created folders?
The following will work out of the box and will return new folders instantly:
folder: dm:today
The above will search for date modified, if you really want date created search for:
folder: dc:today
This will be slow out of the box as date created information is not indexed.
Everything will need to gather this information.
To enable date created indexing:
If you would like to keep date created disable, please consider the following search:
folder: date:today dc:today
This will only lookup the date created for folders modified today.
This will typically find all folders created today.
However, if you have software that changes the date modified timestamp on folders, it may miss a newly created folder.
Everything 1.5 will have shorter syntax available:
\ dm:today
folder: dm:today
The above will search for date modified, if you really want date created search for:
folder: dc:today
This will be slow out of the box as date created information is not indexed.
Everything will need to gather this information.
To enable date created indexing:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Index tab on the left.
- Check Index date created.
- Click OK.

Re: Searching for newly created folders?
Thanks, that works now. I can include it in my various search presets. By the way, because the dm variant finds that stuff, how would i exclude items coming from the Control Panel, like Fonts?
Re: Searching for newly created folders?
Please try including the following in your search:
!c:\windows\ !\appdata\
! = NOT
!c:\windows\ !\appdata\
! = NOT
