I have fixed the issue for the next release of Everything.

This bug is caused by the Allow forward slash path separator option.

To disable this option:
In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Search tab.
Uncheck Allow forward slash path separator.
Click OK.

There is maybe one more problem with the date.
dc:yesterday display all items in the folder and yesterday was last month
There are items that are created last year but they are still displayed

What version of "Everything"?
There is a bug in an earlier release that was using the wrong month/year...

It seems to be working here with 1.3.1.636b , are you sure date created is displayed and not date modified?

I'm using the newest beta and yes,the files are either created yesterday(I download them yesterday),the day before that,and the day before that...also last month and even last year

When I'm typing dc:yesterday there is absolutely no change to the list but if I type dc:thu then it shows the files from yesterday
With dc:today it display only the files from today(friday)

BTW can I search for exact date
And maybe from data to date

I tried all kind of combinations for yesterday date but nothing appears
I tried disabling "Allow forward slash path separator" but it was the same

Date syntax:

Code: Select all

year
month/year
day/month/year
An example of a specific date:

Code: Select all

dc:28/2/2013

A couple examples of a date range search:

Code: Select all

dc:21/2/2012-21/12/2012
dc:21/2/2012..21/12/2012

It's not working
"C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Downloads\Images\" dc:28/2/2013
Match Path enabled and "Allow forward slash path separator" disabled

With Match Path,it shows me all the files of the folder(regardless when they are created)and without Match Path,nothing is displayed

Edit:Sorry about that,I was disabling wrong option...it works if I really disable the "Allow forward slash path separator" option

Are you sure you have your dc: as you want (& not dm:) ?

I'm suspecting that even though it shows "day/month/year" that it is in fact locale specific, so for me (how it is looking to work) is "month/day/year".

m: fisher dm:2/20/2010
finds
m:/music/fisher.mp3, with a modified date of, 02/20/2010

likewise

m: fisher dc:6/8/2010
finds the same file
m:/music/fisher.mp3, with a created date of, 06/08/2010 (that's June 8)

Yes it works fine if I disable the correct option(don't know where was a looking when I was disabling options)
Again,sorry about the false alarm

I forgot about the locale date format when specifying all 3 DAY/MONTH/YEAR values...

I need to update the search syntax to reflect this.

Should Everything use YEAR - MONTH (instead of MONTH - YEAR) when only searching for two values and when your locale date format is Year-Month-Day?

I prefer day/month/year but that's my opinion
The locale date format here is day/month/year

This is always confusing me in some programs...which one is the day and the month(when the day is 12 or lower)because on some programs it's month/day/year

I second YEAR-MONTH-DAY format. No ambiguity about day & month position.
