You can search for a specific date or a range of dates in the following fields.
Date searching is initiated by selecting one of the date fields from the pull down box:
Date searching is inactive when the pull down box contains the default text, "Date Search Not Active".
The "AND" operator links the date search criteria to your text search criteria.
The Boolean Text Search lets you enter text for up to three of the text fields and one of the date fields concurrently.
The Advanced Text Search lets you search text in all of the text fields and in one of the date fields concurrently.
Date searches should always be used in conjunction with a text search to avoid long search times.
