Find files associated with a particular date or date range. GoldFynch searches the file's text as well as its metadata.
Search for dates
As GoldFynch processes the files you upload, it scans for dates. These dates are extracted from the file’s text and metadata fields. Some common fields are date of document creation and date of last modification. GoldFynch can spot dates in many formats (e.g. April 2002 or 04/01/2002).
How to search for dates
1. Enter date or date range in search bar
- Use any format for the date (e.g. mm/dd/yyyy, month/dd/YYYY, etc.).
- For a date range, separate the start and end dates with a hyphen.
Using MM/DD/YYYY format
In this date-range example, we use the standard format: MM/DD/YYYY – MM/DD/YYYY.
Using Month Year format
Here, we instead use the date format: “Month Year – Month Year”.
2. Choose appropriate search query
The dropdown will provide search suggestions. When using a date range, be sure to select the date-range option from the autocomplete suggestions.
Tip: Date formats show up in the search bar when you type in a year.
