Need help searching PC for videos from a certain year

[yigoro8733]

So basically I need to search my PC for videos taken (date created/date taken) in 2014 & 2015.

I’ve uploaded all my phones videos throughout the years and I completely forgot where I stashed each years worth of videos.

Is there a way to search (Local Disk C,D, etc..) for something like


.MP4 - Date Created (2015) .MOV -Date Taken (2014)

Yes, you can definitely search your PC for videos taken in specific years using the "Date Created" or "Date Taken" criteria. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open File Explorer by clicking on the folder icon in your taskbar or by pressing the Windows key + E shortcut.
2. In the search box located in the top-right corner of the File Explorer window, type the following command: kind:=video This will filter the search results to only show video files.
3. To search for videos created in a specific year, you can use the "Date Created" filter. For example, to find videos created in 2015, you can type the following command: kind:=video datemodified:2015 This will show all video files that were created in the year 2015.
4. Similarly, to search for videos taken in a specific year (assuming that the "Date Taken" metadata is available in your video files), you can use the "Date Taken" filter. For example, to find videos taken in 2014, you can type the following command: kind:=video datetaken:2014 This will show all video files that have a "Date Taken" value set to the year 2014. Remember to replace "2015" and "2014" with the desired year you want to search for. Also, note that the availability of the "Date Taken" metadata may vary depending on the device used to capture the videos and how files were imported or copied to your PC. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
