This should be a typical task for the file manager of the Operating System probably assisted by an indexing engine.
Supposing your OS is a version of Windows, the file manager is named âExplorerâ. You surely often use it. If you actually donât know how to call it, search the desktop and the system tray for it or try âWinKeyâ+âEâ. Unfortunately MS changed to a next to unusable interface (âRibbonâ) I cannot advise about because it is just mud in my eyes.
Go to the folder you regularly save your documents to.
Choose a view showing all the relevant details including extensions âŚ
Sort by âDateâ or âLast changedâ or similar. âŚ
You should also get offered a little field top right to enter search expressions. You may use there a *part*.odt
if you remember the string âpartâ as a part of the forgotten filename and the filetype âWriterâ text document for the extension.
If you DEselect the option âUse LibreOffice dialogue boxesâ under âToolsâ>'Options>âLibreOfficeâ>âGeneralâ you will get offered many of the capabilities of the file manager also when applying âFileâ>âOpenâ.
(Addendum:)
If you have selected the above mentioned option and you make the box wide enough you can also sort by âDate modifiedâ.
Hope this helps.
