For example it would be nice to be able to say things like "date:2009-01-1", to specify a search over a particular day, or "since:'1 month' to specify an open-ended range, and have the other endpoint be implicit. To do any of this we're probably going to need to break down an write our own parser for the query string rather than using Xapian's QueryParser class. jamie.
