Month Date Constants only work for the current year

Post by VoidSearcher »

Here's my situation: I'm trying to find a picture that I took in the Summer. I don't remember which year it was from though.

So I tried datemodified:jul datemodified:aug which didn't work.
A bit of experimenting later I found out, that as of now, only jan|feb seems to work and only returns stuff from 2026 respectively.

Wondering if this is expected behaviour or if there is another way to search for everything from July to August irrespective of year.
(I also tried to do something like dm:*/7/* dm:*/8/* which doesnt seem to work either)

Im using Version 1.4.1.1030 (x64) Portable

With Everything 1.5 Alpha you can do something like,
dm:july;august

to find files dated July or August - regardless of year.

Thank you for your response!

I didnt know there was an alpha out already. I downloaded it and tested it out.

dm:jul works now but only partially. It only shows July 2025 and entering dm:july,august (or jul,aug) brings up no results. (neither does dm:jul dm:aug spaced apart)

I doublechecked and confirmed that I do in fact have earlier August modification dates than 2025.

Sorry about that, I typo'd above (and since fixed), it should be a semicolon separating the months.

dm:july;august

or
dm:jul-aug

or
dm:jul-sep
, if you wanted September also...
