Search on date fields
Learn the different queries you can use to search for records by their date fields.
Searching for ranges
You can use the keyword TO in your search query to search for ranges.
catalogued_date:[2021.05.01 TO 2021.06.15]
This example will search for all dates from 1 May to 15 June 2021.
Searching within a month or year
You can use an asterisk (*) in your search query to search for all dates in a specific month or year.
catalogued_date:"2021.05.* "
This example will search for all dates in May 2021.
catalogued_date:"2021.* "
This example will search for all dates in 2021.
Searching for different date formats
You will only find records that match the date format in your search. If you use different date formats across your collection you will need to search for each format.
Here are examples of different formats that may be present in your collection. We don’t recommend using a forward slash (/) as this has a special meaning in the search index and can cause problems.
