searching by file size

First off: I did try to find an answer by searching the forum but I did not find anything I understood.
I want to list all .jpg files withing and date range and larger than a specific file size.
I found this part in the forum: dc:20171001..20181230 *.jpg
It will display a list of all .jpg files from Jan 1st 2017 to Dec 30 2018.
I wish to add a 'larger than" filter to this string. For instance: larger than 2 megabytes
What would the syntax be?
Thanks,
WV-Mike

Please try searching for:
size:>2mb
Altogether:
dc:20171001..20181230 *.jpg size:>2mb

Thanks!
However, it will now only display a list of "date created" .jpg files from 2018.
I have verified there are files larger than 2mb which were created in 2017.
BTW - tried using various combos from the help file but had no luck.
Size Constants:
empty
tiny 0 KB < size <= 10 KB
small 10 KB < size <= 100 KB
medium 100 KB < size <= 1 MB
large 1 MB < size <= 16 MB
huge 16 MB < size <= 128 MB
gigantic size > 128 MB
unknown

if your date range starts on Jan 1st 2017, shouldn't it be dc:20170101..20181230 instead of 20171001

I cannot get "dc:20180101..20180430 *.jpg size:>2mb" to search a USB drive.
It only searches the C:\ drive.

I was able to direct it to the E (USB) drive.
However, I get no result with this:
e:\ dc:20180101..20180428 *.jpg size:>2mb
This returns 108, 618 results
e:\ dc:20180101..20181228 *.jpg size:>2mb

Check this first:
USB-Sticks
Your search parameters seem to be OK.

This returns results dating back to 1982.

Please try searching for:
e:\ dm:20180429..20181228 *.jpg size:>2mb
dc = date created.
dm = date modified.
Date modified information is indexed by default (fast searching and sorting), whereas date created information is not.

Of course! Now that it is obvious it all becomes clear.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all.
