Is it possible to limit search result to publication year or rear range?
Welcome to the forums!
Is it possible to limit search result to publication year or year range?
Yes you can!
One way to do it would be to create a collection of your resources based on publication date, and then search within that collection.
1. Create a Collection - check this page on the wiki if you re not sure how to do it, and see the examples using pubdate - this will filter your resources for inclusion in that collection based on publication date.
2. The, use that collection in your Search. Look on this page under "Limiting Search to part of your library" if you don't know how to do this.
Hi Lauri
A variant on Don's excellent answer is you can create the collection "on demand"
In the search windows "Resources" drop down entry the "pubdate" you want and you will get an option to select that filtered list - in this case resources published in 2013
this is then used for a search as below
Learned something new today - thanks!
And Pubdate: can even take a range e.g. Pubdate:>1970
Thanks!

This has been an invaluable tool for me to gather newer more relevant material from my library for research (which is required by my classes), but apparently this operator no longer works in the new version of logos (and I am still running logos 9).
The "Basic" search has been changed to "All" and the "All Resources" dropbox is no longer present.
I tested a few of the other filter fields like "author:xyz" and some of them work.
I also spent 45 minutes on the phone with logos and they couldn't figure it out.
If anyone figures out how to do a library search by pubdate again, I'd be ever so grateful.
In Logos 10, you will want to use the "Books" search rather than "All" search. From there you can use a resource filter in the same way as Logos 9.

Sorry, running Logos 10 (it is the Books search here) and this works like it always did and looks exactly like Graham's screenshot many years ago:
