Thanks

To create a "changed in the last 30 minutes" filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to Filters....
  • Set the filter name, it can be anything.
  • Set the Search to:
    rc:last30mins
  • Click OK.
To create a "Today" filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to Filters....
  • Set the filter name, it can be anything.
  • Set the Search to:
    rc:today
  • Click OK.
Filters can be accessed from the Search menu, with a keyboard shortcut, with a search macro, right clicking the status bar or from the filter bar.

Thank you, but what I meant was, is there any way to just filter the parameter so that today or last30mins can be used as a filter with anything?

For example dm: as the main search and last30mins as the filter.

Would it also be possible to have a timeline as a menu item with items like today, yesterday, this week, last 15 minutes, 1 hour etc? Either in the advanced search menu but preferably as a stand alone menu item...

Please try filter macros:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to Filters....
  • Set the filter Name, it can be anything.
  • Set the Search to:
    rc:today
  • Set the Macro to:
    today
  • Click OK.
Now when you search for today: it will be replaced with rc:today
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to Filters....
  • Set the filter Name, it can be anything.
  • Set the Search to:
    rc:last30mins
  • Set the Macro to:
    30m
  • Click OK.
Now when you search for 30m: it will be replaced with rc:last30mins

Auto suggestions for rc:, dm: are on my TODO list.

Thanks but It's just the time element I'm interested in. last15mins, last30mins, today etc.

For example (as a search menu item):

Great, thank you...It would be nice as a separate menu item rather than included in the 'advanced search menu'
