Searching date fields?

[dan]

I need a DateProperty to be searchable. The following change seems to
work for me. Will this change hurt me in some way I don't understand?

P.S. Yes, I know, you encourage django-nonrel instead. However, it
might take me hours to convert over. I'd have to change my models,
queries, then perhaps even convert data of an existing app. I want to
limp along with gae-search as long as I can.

You could use a custom splitter to handle this or you could write a
custom @property and index that. Modifying gae-search is not ideal.

Yes, thanks. I ended up writing a custom splitter because I did not want date fields broken up across -s.
