Using a date range search

The following table outlines the properties that can be used to define an AQS query using a date range restriction:

Property	Example	Description
Received	Received:today Received:02/17/2013 Received:01/01/2013..04/01/2013	Searches for items received today. Searches for items received on February 17. Searches for items received between January 1 and April 1.
Sent	Sent:today Sent:02/17/2013	Searches for items sent today. Searches for items sent on February 17.

You can use relative dates when performing a date range restricted search. For example, today, tomorrow, or yesterday can be used with the Received or Sent keywords.

You can use a specific day of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday) with the Received or Sent keywords.

You can also use a specific month (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, or December) with the Received or Sent keywords.
