How do I search for a specific date in Linux?

4 Answers. You can use the find command to find all files that have been modified after a certain number of days. Note that to find files modified before 24 hours ago, you have to use -mtime +1 instead of -mtime -1 . This will find all files modified after a specific date.

How do you find a file created on a certain date?

Open File Explorer or type it into Cortana. In the top right corner you will see a box that says Search and has a magnifying glass next to it. A calendar will pop up and you can select a date or enter a date range to search. That will bring up every file modified or created based on your range.
