+The date: search expects a Xapian range expression, which requires ".."\r
+to be present in the query. For example, date:today..today from\r
+beginning of today to end of today, which I believe is what you're\r
+after. Half open ranges are okay, too, so assuming you don't have much\r
+mail from the future, simply date:today.. will do.\r
+\r
+Unfortunately, due to a limitation in Xapian, we can't flag an error or\r

+\r
+The search terms manual page, 'man notmuch-search-terms', which is also\r
+available at http://notmuchmail.org/manpages/notmuch-search-terms-7/\r
+gives a pretty good summary on the date search, including the\r
+limitations.\r
