A further update on this is that (when 'Date' is searched using the same URL as posted in the previous message), whether Date is of type string or text, the full (exact) content of a field has to be searched to return a result.
Why is this not the case with Content? I tried changing the default search field to 'Date' to see if that made a difference and nothing changed.
