Complicated searches can be performed by the Finder.
Click on the Finder icon in the Dock. The default window will open. In Mountain Lion, the default is "All my Files." This can be set in Finder Prefs.
Press Command F
The window will now have some info at the top: "This Mac" and the Current or Default Directory. It defaults to the "This Mac" and "All My Files", but you can limit searches to your current directory by starting the search in the needed window.
The next line contains some drop down menus with items like Name, Kind, Size, Last Opened, among others. Select the aspect you want.
To add more parameters to the search, click the + sign on the right side of the limiter bar. Another bar will open and you can add another factor.
Searches can be saved and stored in the left Finder Pane.
For example you could find all the gif images that were created today that were smaller than 4K.
Another method is "Spotlight."
In the upper corner of the screen is a magnifying glass. Click it and type the name of the item you want. If that can not find what you want, you select "Show in Finder" and continue as before.
