Searching by Date
You can search for and locate images by the date they were taken. For example, you
might locate any images taken during a trip between May 16, 2005, and May 20, 2005. To
search for images by date, you use the Calendar search options. When the calendar
appears, any dates that appear in bold represent dates on which new photos were taken
as registered in the EXIF data. You can select a date or several dates in the calendar to
search for images taken on those dates, as well as specify a range of dates. In addition,
you can search for images taken outside of a range of dates.

Images that you import from sources other than cameras and card readers, such as
JPEG or TIFF files, may not have EXIF information associated with them. However, they
typically have a creation date assigned to the file. You can use this creation date to
locate images using the Date search options.
