: datefield:[X TO* Y] for X to Y-0.00000000...1 : : This would be backwards-compatible. {} are used for other things and lexing
You lost me there ... {} aren't used for "other things" in the query parser -- they're used for range queries that are exclusive of their end points. datefield:{X TO Y} is already legal syntax, i'm just saying it would be nice if datefield:[X TO Y} and datefield:{X TO Y] were legal as well. -Hoss
