I often need to search for documents by date (created or last modified) in Google Docs.
For example, forgetting where I put it (and the name/content), so needing to search all my Google Docs for files created yesterday, etc.
Is there any way to do that?
Google recently updated the document revisions and they are displaying the exact date for each of them. For older documents it doesn't seem to be working, but at least all your new documents will be the way you wanted it.
You can simply just type "todo:" in the Google Docs search box. that will list all documents of all types that have "todo:" in them.

Google Drive accepts at least some of the same special search keywords as Gmail.
I searched for
before:2013-01-01 after:2012-12-15and got back only files with "Lasted Edited" dates in that range.Google support has more information about searching your Google Drive, including the search operators it supports.
