Is there a way to have wildcards inside the @cdate or @date search?
For example, I want to find all of the notes created today but across all years. A sample might be:
@cdate(???-10-15)

no, I’m afraid this can’t be currently done but I’d like to know if there’s a use case for this particular special search.

Thank you for responding. One use case is something of an “On this Day” type of search.
I have an Apple Shortcut I use for iCloud photos that shows me all photos “On this Day” and hoping to do the same for Daily Notes and other notes that I have.
Before I even knew of the @cdate search option I made a shortcut that accomplishes this and thought I would see if there was a wildcard option which would sum up what I want in 2 seconds 😀
