Sorry for asking such amateur questions but I want to find all files created in 2003 under a directory. I know there's an easy way to do this and I've seen it before, but I can't figure it out myself. Could someone please tell me the exact command line for that?

The most precise way is to use the -newer function to compare it to files that bracket your start and end of your search:

touch --date=2003-01-01 /tmp/start
touch --date=2004-01-01 /tmp/end
find . -newer /tmp/start -a ! -newer /tmp/end
