Thank you for your great suggestion. That worked! A follow-up: We're using
this to do partial date searches on the copyField text field, providing
month "08" and day "01":
efficient way to do this?
Thanks.
Warm regards,
Alex

Wildcard patterns work on dates if they are "string&quo
Wildcard patterns work on dates if they are "string" fields.
If your dates are "trie" dates (the default "date" field type now), you
would need to do a copyField to a string field to do the wildcard match.
Examples:
-05-12*
2010-??-12*

Well, you could always index the year/month/day separately. The query
might be a bit slower and more cumbersome, but it is doable. And for
indexing, you can probably use index-time transformers/components to
split the date into the parts behind the scenes.
The usual other option is to use Date Mat
