How can a date range be entered to search for dates within a specified time frame?

The correct way to enter a date range using the specified format is to use parentheses and connect the start and end dates with the word "to." This format clearly indicates the beginning and the end of the date range being searched.

Using "date(january 10 2006 to january 20 2006)" establishes a straightforward method for the system to interpret that you are looking for records between these two dates. The inclusion of the word "to" provides clarity about the intended range, making it easy for the system to process the request accurately.

Other formats, while they may seem valid at first glance, do not follow the conventional syntax required for such a query. For example, using quotation marks or different punctuation might confuse the system, as they tend to denote completely different meanings or functions in query languages. Similarly, attempts to use dashes or slashes to denote ranges may not fit the format, leading to potential misinterpretation of the intended search criteria or resulting in errors.
