Search operator for creation and modified dates to filter by time

+1 this would be amazing!

+1 to this feature as well. Using dataview and properties as a workaround is functional, but it seems like we should be able to access the default properties ctime/mtime/etc. The search UI lets you sort by these, so hopefully it wouldn’t be too difficult to add them as operators.

+1 I am not sure how this could be realized, but some kind of ctime history would be great.

I have a section in my daily notes where I see which notes where created that day. Also I would like to see which ones have been modified. So I have an overview over everything I did that day in my vault.

It would be wonderful.
Another use case is to display nodes in graph view depending on creation or modification date.

One limitation to the file modification history is the file system only keeps the last modified date. That’s good enough ~90% of the time, but if you recently did a big find-replace across all projects that will wipe out the modified time…

Just being able to query the last modified time in the search plugin would still be a big improvement. I’m wondering if there is a better solution though. Some folders in my vault are backed by git, and there git log -- file_name prints all the commit dates. Or, I’m unsure how the paid Sync plugin handles version history, but I’m guessing it would support a full modification history too. I could imagine providers for DropBox, iCloud, etc.

It’s the same for me.

I can use Dataview to get the information I am searching more precisely within a time frame, but it would be more intuitive and would not demand the creation of another note, to do so with the native search plugin.

It is particularly useful in my case when I search with tags or a specific word linked to a time-sensitive project, which I wrote within my daily notes.
