Syntax for this kind of filter allows searching for absolute date values or a date-range (for example 20070921, 2003, 2001-200404).
 
Possible syntaxes in the hover text of a specific filter:
 

1. Syntax[DATE]: date=Y(M(D(h(m(s
   
2. Syntax[DATE]: date, -date, date-, date1-date2; date=Y(M(D(h(m(s
   

A date can be written in a prefixed form omitting the smaller date-parts:

• YYYY = represents whole year, for example 2007 finds all dates in the year 2007
  
• YYYYMM = year and month, for example 200704
  
• YYYYMMDD = year + month + day, for example 20070421
  
• YYYYMMDD hh = day in year + hours, for example 20070421 17
  
• YYYYMMDD hhmm = day in year + hours + minutes, for example 20070421 1751
  

The first syntax only allows exact searches, while the second syntax also allows to search for values that lies in ranges of absolute date values. The '-' is used as a special character to indicate a range:

• -200704 = search for dates up to April 2007
  
• 2003- = search for dates since year 2003 forward
  
• 200503-20060718 = search for dates between March 2005 and July, 18th of 2006
