file search in subfolders

I also want to be able to search by filesize (> 100 MB) and by date last
accessed (before a month ago). I am having some problems quickly obtaining
those values.

Pflugs,
I would advise against the .FileSearch function that comes with Office, as
many people report flaky results in all versions & apps.
Use VB intrinsic functions:

You can add your own checks for FileLen and FileDateTime on each file.

There are other ways of achieving you aim but this will get you started.
