With the date entries of the List of attributes in the search form on the right you can search for the type (Date type).





It is possible to search for certain periods of time: The beginning and end dates can be typed into the boxes Date range from...to..., e.g., Date range from [1300-01-01] to [1399-12-31]. The date must conform to the order yyyy-mm-dd. Within a search of a period of time all the records will be listed which existed in this space of time, that is, in the above example, from 1300-01-01 to 1399-12-31. In this way you will find more hits in contrast to browsing, e.g., by alternatively typing the [14th] in the name search box only a few hits will be found, that is, those in which the “14th” actually appears in the name.

N.B.: Searching for periods of time is the recommended method.





In the search for a period of time you may activate the overlap box. By doing so, you will not only determine the date entries existing within the desired period of time but also those overlapping it.
