Finding a Date
To find a date, use any reasonable format, including but not
limited to the examples shown below:
| 31-Dec-98 |
Dec 31, 1998 |
1998 Dec |
Dec 98 |
December 1998 |
12-98 |
Do not use a forward slash to separate date elements unless you
surround the date with quotation marks ("12/31/98").
You can use the symbols & / ! between dates
to do AND-OR-NOT searches. For example, May 1998 / June 1998 finds all
dates in May or June 1998.
You can do less than, greater than, and range searches for dates
(see below).
Doing less than, greater than,
and "between" searches
You can search for items greater than or less than a certain
value, or within a range. This is most commonly done when searching for dates, but may
also be done when searching for values or text. Use the symbols shown below. When used
with a partial date, these symbols search from the beginning of the date (first day of the
month or year). A range consists of two values, low and high, separated by a colon.
Include spaces around the colon.
