How do I specify a date range? For example, between Sept 2019 to Dec 2019 including those months.
I get strange results (including files from many years ago) when I use the following. I am in the UK and my PC is set to use DDMMYYY.
dc:>1/sep/2019 dc:<31/dec/2019

(file: if you only want to see files. date format may depend on locale?
I used dm: cause I have that indexed, not dc:.)

That works well. I notice it is mentioned vaguely as "function syntax" on
https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/
The date syntax on that page permits "/" as a delimiter within the date string but that doesn't work. Nor do date constants work (such as "today").
Perhaps that page could be made clearer because a date range is a very useful function.

@notnull All your three examples work fine. I will need to study this a bit more closely! Thank you.
