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.
