How to Limit a Search to the Current Year
- 1). Access the items or events on which you want to perform the search. For instance, if you are trying to look up a particular email and you want to limit the search to the current year in your email inbox, open your email client and sign in to your account by providing the username and password. Likewise, if you are trying to search your payment history in PayPal and you would like to limit the search to the current year, then navigate to the PayPal website and log in by providing your email address and password.
- 2). Click the "Advanced Search" or the "Show search options" button. The exact button may vary.
- 3). Specify the date to which you want to limit the search under the option titled "Date within." Select "1 year" as you want to limit the search to the current year.
Some search features, including that offered by PayPal allow you to select a date range for performing the search--for instance from "01 January, 2010" to "01 January, 2011." All the items that meet your search within this range will be shown in the search results.
