Looking for a guide to Windows 7 searches

[timswim78]

So, I have been trying to search for some files in Windows 7, and I have been struggling with the built in search feature.

Basically, I want to be able to specify the parameters of my search. For example, I want to search for a file that:
- has the .sas extension
- contains the word "RTRIM"
- was created after Jan 1, 2011.

I can find the .sas files using the "ext:sas" option, but I have no idea how to ask the search to look for files that contain certain text or were created in a certain time range.

Thanks for your help!

Agent Ransack - it has a much cooler name than "fileseek."

Thanks JackMDS and Binky. These tools are huge helps. I cannot believe how incredibly crippled the Windows 7 search is.
