Is there a utility that will search through image files EXIF data and
return any that meet the criteria. For example, search for any shots
taken during March 10-15th, 2002. Hoping it's free.

Well, that pretty much blew my mind. Is this a Unix tool?

Not as such. It's Perl based. You can run Perl on Windows.
Since Mac is Unix now, I'll ignore that for now.

EXIFUtils ( http://www.hugsan.com/EXIFutils/ ) is also good. It has a
exiflist tool. I mostly use it for the exifcopy tool. The free
version does have some restrictions.
