Question limit number of sub-dirs searched for files

using: find . -type f -print|xargs -li "string", how do I limit the dated directories (2010-7-14, 2010-7-13,etc.) to just 2009 & 2010 years of directories to search. We go back to 2004 in our archives, way too many files.

APPROX-IMPORT(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  APPROX-IMPORT(8)

NAME
approx-import - copy local .deb files into the approx cache SYNOPSIS
approx-import [OPTION]... file.deb ... DESCRIPTION
approx-import copies local .deb files, such as those found in /var/cache/apt/archives, into the approx(8) cache. It does so by computing the MD5 checksum of each argument. If it matches a package in one of the Packages files in the approx(8) cache, then the file is copied to the appropriate location in the cache. Note that all Packages files must be scanned, regardless of how many .deb files are being imported, and this process may take several min- utes. The approx-import command must be run by the superuser or the approx(8) user. OPTIONS
-c file, --config file Specify an additional configuration file. May be used multiple times. -s, --simulate Process files but do not actually copy them into the cache. -q, --quiet Don't print the names of files that are imported. -v, --verbose Print the disposition of each file. EXAMPLES
To import packages from the local apt(8) cache: approx-import /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb To import packages from another proxy's cache: find other-cache -name "*.deb" | xargs approx-import (where other-cache is the pathname of the other proxy's cache directory) FILES
/etc/approx/approx.conf Configuration file for approx and related programs. /var/cache/approx Default cache directory for archive files. SEE ALSO
