Hello.
I'm looking for tips on how to search for a file (photo/video) if I only know the date it was taken.
So I don't know the name of the file.

Is there a way to do this?

You have to be careful. There's a file's date as created/last updated by Windows. If you or a download tool was careful about preserving the original photo's timestamps, then the file date is useful.

Otherwise if your photo has EXIF metadata, then you can use that property instead.
Code:
datetaken:08/21/2010
