Date based filters

[Mike P 2,692]

The filter menu provides a simple way of searching for notes created or updated during a range of dates. In particular there are one click options for last 7 days, last 30 days etc. Previously, to search for a date range, you needed to use the search syntax. New users or those who do not want to learn the search syntax now have an easy way of searching.

But

Using the search syntax there are two ways of searching for notes created in the last 30 days

created:20210904 -created:20211005
created:day-30

If you save a search based on the filter you will see that it uses the first method - ie it hard codes the dates. Using this saved search at a later date will still give you notes created in the last 30 days from today. This is obviously also true of the filter widget.

This seems an odd default. Personally if I bother to save a search for notes created in the last 30 days, 99 times out of a 100 it's because I want notes created in the last 30 days from when I run the search in the future.
