 Hi @archon810,

 The purpose of the Search endpoint is to provide a unified, minimal
 interface for performing basic searches across a variety of different
 WordPress entities; it has been recently extended to support terms and
 post formats.

 Searching by date isn't something that can be universally implemented.

 I would instead recommend using the existing posts endpoint for performing
 those searches, or implementing a custom endpoint.
