Hopefully I’m not misunderstanding, but I’ve create a workaround for being able to find notes by date of entry/change.
Using Cmenu I’ve added a button on the menu to insert the date wherever desired. For me I’ll add it underneath a heading I’ve created or if I’ve made changes under that heading. The “Natural Language Dates: Insert the current date” plugin option was assigned to the Cmenu.
In my case the date format is DD-MM-YY
You can then search using the following regular expression in the default search bar.
/[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-22/
This would be the default search for all dates in 1922.
/[0-9][0-9]-[0-1][0-2]-22/
This would find all days in Oct, Nov, Dec. (10,11,& 12). You can see that the second set of brackets have change to limit the month. Each bracket is a digit in the date and the dash denotes a range of numbers.
If you wanted to limit to just Dec, then change the last bracket to just ‘2’.
/[0-9][0-9]-[0-1]2-22/
In this case the following would also work
/[0-9][0-9]-12-22/
If you want to limit to weeks or day you need to adjust the first two brackets.
/2[0-9]-06-22/
This would find notes at and after the 20th of June, missing the 30th, 31st.
This would catch those days
/[0-3][0-9]-06-22/
If you make a change to the note you just need to go the area change (under a heading for example) and re-paste the date via cmenu.
