The "DiskTop" Desk Accessory comes close.  It's FIND command can be applied to
one or more disks (unfortunately, NOT a single folder) and can use any 
combination of the following criteria:

   Name contains "string"

   Created  DATE to DATE

   Modified DATE to DATE

   Creator type "FILE SIGNATURE TYPE"

and I think I've probably missed something out...

It is also LOTS faster than Apple's Find File.  It includes heaps of other 
goodies (complete Finder replacement, able to jump directly to programs,
able to play with Finder information etc...)

DiskTop is NO LONGER public domain - to get all these great features you need
to buy the retail version.  Look in computer mag's for "CE Software".
