This filter consists of two elements: an input box and a selection box. The selection box shows the following choices controlling the format for the date value in the input box (dependent on the specific filter; not all of them may be available):

• absolute: the format of the value in the input box is expected to be that of an absolute date, see DATE-filter
   
  
• years, months, weeks, days, hours, mins: one of these indicate the time-unit used for the relative date in the input box written as (assume 'days' as selected time-unit):
  
  • 30 or <30 = search date value from 30 days (or selected time-unit) ago until today
    
  • >30 = search value before 30 days (or selected time-unit) ago
