How to search blob files in a date range

I’m using Azure storage explorer to find specific files. The files loaded are very old and short by date looks not showing the correct results.

Is there any way in which I can give date range and it will show me the files in between those date range?

You can click on the Last Modified column header to sort increasing or decreasing date, and then page through until you find the right date

Unfortunately no. Azure Blob Storage has very limited server-side filtering capabilities and filtering by date is not one of them. What you have to do is list all blobs in the container and then apply filtering on the client side.

An alternative would be to import this information in an Azure Cognitive Search Index and there you will be able to perform all kinds of filtering. I wrote a blog post about it long time ago that you may find useful: https://gauravmantri.com/2014/08/25/making-azure-blob-storage-searchable-using-azure-search-service/.
