How specify date range?

[burgundy]

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: dm:20190901-20191231

(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.

Does this work for you? (works here):

Code: Select all

file:   dm:01/12/2019..31/12/2019

Code: Select all

file:   dm:lastweek..yesterday

Code: Select all

file:   dm:today

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