Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure that the dates are indexed as dates and not as strings, since the hits are of the type:
"_score" : 1.375688, "_source" : {"type":["A"],"time":["Mon Nov 11 13:55:30 CET 2013"],"name":["peter"]} where the field "time" has already the format of a date. It seems to parse/format automatically from ISODate("2013-10-17T09:23:56.131Z") to dates such as the one in the sample. -- View this message in context: http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Elastic-search-range-dates-tp4046565p4046993.html Sent from the ElasticSearch Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
