Search by date:
This feature allows you to start your search from a specific date, including that date and all previous records. It’s like saying, \"search from this date to the past\". We cannot search the future, so if it’s a \"relative date query\" we search in the past. However, if it’s a \"strict date query\" set beyond the current date, it will be considered an \"invalid date query\".

Everything that does not follow the queries listed below is invalid.
Search query:
- `yesterday` or `y`

- week days: If a week day is beyond the current date, it returns that day from the previous week.
`mo` `tu` `we` `th` `fr` `sa` `su`
`monday` `tuesday` `wednesday` `thursday` `friday` `saturday` `sunday`

- month names: If the month is beyond the current date, it returns that month from the previous year.
`Jan` `Feb` `Mar` `Apr` `May` `Jun` `Jul` `Aug` `Sep` `Oct` `Nov` `Dec`
`January` `February` `March` `April` `May` `June` `July` `August` `September` `October` `November` `December`

- partial date expressions: If the date is beyond the current date, it returns that date form the previous year.
` ` ` `
Example:
\"2 Aug\", \"Feb 22\", \"3 October\"

- full date expressions: This is an \"strict date query\". If the date is beyond the current date, it will be considered \"invalid\".
` ` ` `
Example:
\"2 Aug 2023\", \"Feb 22 2021\", \"3 October 2021\"

- \"date calculation expressions\": This expression calc how many days, weeks, months or years to search from the current date to the pass. The `-` (negative sign) is required at beginnig. If no `period` is specified, the default is `day`.
`-` `- `
period:
- `d` `day` `days` (values: 1..730)
- `w` `week` `weeks` (values: 1..240)
- `m` `month` `months` (values: 1..120)
- `y` `year` `years` (values: 1..10)
Example:
\"-1\", \"-3 m\", \"-1 year\", \"-5 weeks\"
