Using date ranges in emacs notmuch search

[suvayu ali <fatkasuvayu+linux@gmail.com>]

Hi Emacs users,

I was wondering if someone could point me how to correctly specify date
ranges in an emacs notmuch search. So far I tried these two variations:

To see all emails from the last 3 months I tried:

1. "$(($(date +%s)-5270400))..$(date +%s)" - This completes w/o an error
   but doesn't return any messages.
2. $(($(date +%s)-5270400))..$(date +%s) (w/o the quotes) - This doesn't
   return any messages either but returns an error code of 1.

Strangely, from the command line both searches return valid messages.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help or comments.
