1. Plug-in description
---------------------- 

Age can be used to search for files where the file age is roughly known. The normal search (extended tab) can be used to find files not older than a certain time span. That's fine but insufficient for many tasks. You can't find files older than a certain time span this way.


2. Field descriptions
---------------------

Changed    	Point of time where the file has been changed lastly relative to the current time.
Created    	Point of time where the file has been created relative to the current time.
Accessed 	Point of time where the file has been accessed lastly relative to the current time.   


3. System requirements
----------------------

For this plug-in Total Commander 6.50 is required.


4. Use
------

This plug-in can be used in all program parts where content plug-ins are supported. However it's mainly thought to be used for the search. Below you'll find some examples how to use this plug-in. 


4.1 Operators
-------------
 
Operator   	Sense
--------	-----

>   		older than
<   		newer than
>=   		at least as old or older than
<=   		as most as old or newer than
=   		as old
!=              older or newer

The operators are always referring to complete time units. What that means for the search is explained in the example below.
