CP search for entries by postDate?

Question

Does the control panel search support postDate, expiryDate, dateCreated, dateUpdated?

For a custom date field, the below will return all dates in October 2017:
customDate:2017-10

But for entry attributes like postDate it returns nothing:
postDate:2017-09

Sure would be good to be able to search by these date values.

Answer 1

Currently, the postDate of an entry is not indexed for search.

Kind of hacky, but you could make a custom DateTime field with duplicate information (i.e. myPostDate) and do a search based on that.
