FileFinder
Here’s a script playing around Get-ChildItem and Select-String.
Searches files from various criterias (before a modification date, after a modification date, with a minimum size, with a maximum size, by extension, by filename, by string contained in the file.) and generates an HTML report with the results.
<#
