How can I search for something I created on a specific date on a mac. I can't remember if it was an email or a letter or an excel spreadsheet. Can you just search by date?
 
You can! Will you find it? Maybe!

In a Finder window press command-F and you'll see little popups that can change your search criteria. Over to the right you can add criteria with the plus sign to narrow down the search.

Results depend on what you allow Spotlight to index.
