Using Date Search in Global Search

You can now include dates in your search string to quickly locate items by their creation, start, or end dates. You can search using full dates (day, month, year) or partial dates (year, or year and month).

You can combine keywords and dates in your searches. For example:

• A search for envelope Jan-2024 returns expense reports with a date in January 2024.

• task 2025-07-04 will return tasks with a start or end date July 4, 2025.

Note:

If you include multiple dates in your search string, only the first detected date is used for precise date ranking. Others are used for broader (textual) matching.

Supported Date Formats

You can search using various date formats, including:

• Numeric: 2024-01-14, 14/01/2024, 01.2024

• Month names (case-insensitive): Jan-2024, January-2024, 2025-Jan-23

Supported month names formats:

• Three-letter English month abbreviations: Jan, Feb

• Full English month names: January, February

Note:

Date searching currently supports only English (three-letter or full English month names). Localization for other languages may not be fully supported in this release.

Partial date searches are supported:

• By year: 2024

• By year and month: 2024-01, Jan-2024

Only four-digit years are supported:

• 2024 is supported.

• 24 isn't supported

Required leading zeros for numeric months/days:

• 2024-01 is valid.

• 2024-1 isn't valid

Note:

If you include a date that isn't valid in your search string, such as 2025-13-27 for example, only the valid year part (2025) is used in the search.

Partial dates should include at least a four-digit year (searching for 01-23 isn't supported).

Supported Range

Only dates between 2000-01-01 and 2050-01-01 will be recognized as dates. Dates outside this range are ignored for date search.

Interaction with Other Search Features

• Two-digit numbers may be interpreted as IDs or navigation shortcuts, not dates.

• Advanced language features (like stemming and synonyms) are disabled if a date is detected to maintain precision.

• Minor typos and alternate spellings in dates are not supported. Fuzzy search isn't used for date terms.

Tips

• Ensure you use four-digit years and leading zeros for months/days.

• Stick to English month names.

• For best results, prefer complete or partial ISO date formats: YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM.

• Your preferred date display format (company/user format) is considered a hint, but any supported format will work.

Known Limitations

• Only the first found date in your search is used for precise matching and ranking.

• Dates outside the supported range are ignored for date-specific searches.

• Two-digit years are not recognized.

• Non-English month names aren't supported.
