How to restore the option to select date in windows explorer 11

Hello,

I would like to know how to restore the option of selecting the date in the searching options menu in the explorer of windows. It seems that it has disappeared on its own for about 1 month and only offers me these choices as shown in the attached photo 1. I have searched but no option has been able to include the famous option. Is there a connection with the indexing which is suspended as shown in image 2.Even the windows toolbar for indexing errors didn't help me to restore the function,

 

Please i just want to recover this useful function by just clicking on the calendar and choose the file to display by specific date.The other options like putting in search bar dates does not respond to my needs.

And i am totally suprised why or how the option has disappeared from the menu since 1 month.It displays only:today, yesterday, last month, etc but the calendar with choosing is no more availbale?!

 

Thank you for helping me to set it up again please!

    If it seems like the built-in Windows tools aren't cutting it, there are third-party tools like Everything or Listary that can enhance your search capabilities in Windows.
