Search on date fields

You can search on the date fields of a record with Advanced Search.

Steps

Click  Advanced on the toolbar to open Advanced Search.
In the list of Search Fields, select a date field and click Next.
In the Search For field, click  Options on the toolbar to open the Date Search window.
Enter the dates in the From and To fields.
- You can leave the From field blank to get everything before a certain date.
- You can leave the To field blank to get everything after a certain date.
In Search Type, select an option:
- Contained: This option searches for dates only between the dates you entered. This is the narrowest search.
- Mostly: This option searches for dates where over 50% of the date range falls within the dates you entered. For example, a search for 1 Jan 2011 to 1 Jan 2012 would return records with dates that fall mostly in the range, such as November 2010-July 2011.
- Overlapping: This is the default option and is the broadest search. This option searches for dates where any part of the date range falls within the dates you entered. For example, a search for 1 Jan 2011 to 1 Jan 2012 would return records with the following dates:
  - 2000-2012
  - 2011-2015
  - 21st century
Optional: To include a date outside your given range, enter it in the Exceptions field.
Click OK.
