Search for newest files underneath current directory (save search)

I'd like to be able to press a toolbar button (or by clicking an item in the section in the below screenshot... don't know what it's called), to start a search that shows me all *.txt files in that directory (or sub directories) that were created or modified in the last couple hours. How can I do this?
I can do the search just fine:
Code: Select all
Find Files:
Name & Location:
- Name: *
- Type: Text files
- Location: xxx
Date:
In the last 2 hours
Thanks.

Use "Edit - Search Templates" after your search and save that template?
and
loadsearch <template>
on a button...

Excellent! Thanks.
How can I do this so it uses the current directory, instead of the directory used when the search was saved?

By reading the help file entry for loadsearch?

I mean to say, how can the saved search use the directory at which I am located when the search is EXECUTED, as opposed to the directory saved into the search.

Ah! I guess that would help.
I will do that. Thanks again.
