 === Additional Search Fields ===
-  * Created by
+  * Created by (user)
   * Contributors
   * Links
   * Media
-You can do a "fuzzy" search in any search field except for the Contributors field. It includes page names.  The "fuzzy" search is minimal. It is case insensitive and compensates for vowel errors.
+  * Earlier or later than Created date
+  * Earlier or later than last Modfied date
+You can do a "fuzzy" search in any search field except for the Contributors field.  The "fuzzy" search is minimal. It is case insensitive and compensates for vowel errors. And some of these, like the dates, can be used in combination with one another.
+For the structure of the meta files and the data contained in them, see: [[devel:metadata|Metadata Storage]]
 ==== Limitations ====
 The search does not use a database. It is essentially brute force and has not been tested against very large sites.
+But for other sites it can be very fast.

 ==== How-To ====
-The above options can be used when working on the command line as described under [[#usage]] above.  The administration application also uses these options and implements them for you.  The above description of command line options is not yet complete, so that some of the functions outlined above are not yet described there and will require the admin plugin.
