90 You can use open ended queries date:since.. or date:..until to not limit
\r
91 the end or start time.
\r
93 > date:a -> date:a..a, if a is an absolute date
\r
95 This needs support from Xapian, but we've discussed this in the past and
\r
96 agree on the semantics. There's a patch to make date:a..! mean the same

\r
103 I think this conflicts with the above.

\r
119 What we can do in notmuch is pretty limited unless we write a full blown
\r
120 custom query parser. Basically Xapian parses date: and .., and passes us
\r
121 the rest to figure out.
