FF: File Finder

About

Yes, I know, there's find and grep but I find those both opaque and difficult to use.

Examples

Find all files in the Downloads folder which were created or edited on August 26, 2022:

./ff -fd:2022-08-26 -sp "/home/woozle/Downloads/*.*"

Note that the quotes are necessary in order to prevent bash from automatically unglobbing the "*.*" into a list of filenames.
