When the example file below is added to the agenda file list, and
I perform an agenda property search (C-c C-a m), I can't seem to
locate any CLOSED items if I use the date matching format, for
example these don't work...
CLOSED>="<2009-01-01>"
CLOSED="<2009-01-07>"
... but a regexp search like this...
CLOSED={2009}
... works fine. For DEADLINE, an exact date matches fails...
DEADLINE="<2009-01-28>"
... but an inequality match succeeds...
DEADLINE>="<2009-01-28>"
FWIW I'm using version 6.17b. Am I just using this format
incorrectly?
Thanks,
Bart

This one works fine for me.

This one does not, because the CLOSED time stamp
in the example also contains a time, while you comparison value is
taken to be at midnight.

My apologies. I recently installed 6.17b, but to the wrong lisp
target directory (i.e. so I was effectively using an older
version of the code, 6.12b I think). After installing it in the
proper directory this works fine.

:-) Yes, many problems come from running one version and reading the
manual of another version :-)
I am glad it works. Even though, looking at your post, I am wondering
if it would be useful
to limit the comparison to "date-only" if the comparison value is a
date without a time.......

That's probably a good idea to avoid confusion, though I'm not
sure how often one searches for a specific day with these. For
closed items I tend to use a timeline display, but was looking at
using a range of dates instead when I noticed the problem. The
only reason I tried a single date was to produce another data
point after I noticed that the '>=' seemed to fail.
