I tried to create a customize quick search as following.

({[]:[Date]="%(SearchTerm)"})

and wish to use this customize quick seach for seaching a range of dates using wildcards on quick search bar,

But I got an error message after the test.

Is it possible using wildcards with date format or is there any better way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Wildcards are not legal in places where the search engine expects a date value. You can specify a range like:

{[]:[Meeting Date] >= "2015/12/01" , [Meeting Date] <= "2015/12/31"}

Thanks, Brian.

It seems we can't specify a sketch date value using wildcards.

And what if I specify a range like,

{[]:[Meeting Date] >= "%(SearchTerm)" , [Meeting Date] <= "%(SearchTerm)"}

Is this works for a customize quick search?

I found that this scenario works pretty good with text field like:

({[]:[Name]="%(SearchTerm)"})

Because I can use a wildcards value in a quick search field without any error.

Then how to create a customize quick search using unpredictable date value for input and return a range of dates for output?
Please suggest a solution for this issue.
