    Eli - I reviewed the demo you shared but could find the details what I am looking for. The heading of this thread seems closer to my question so I am responding in this thread. I am trying to understand the 'Effective' search criteria provided on main search screen. 

    • Created a Document (AKS10) and set Effective Date to 2/19/2019
    • I have another Document (AKS11) where I have not set Effective Date
    • Now when I search for Document in main search window with Effective Date as Today (2/5/2019), I don’t see either documents (AKS10 or AKS11). My expectation was that both should show up since AKS10 is Effective till 2/19/2019 and AKS11 doesn’t have any end date for Effective Date field. Shouldn’t the search should return all the documents where current date =< the effective date? If that is not the behavior then can you elaborate what is expected behavior for ‘Effective’ search condition?
    • When I search for ‘Current’ then system shows me both of my Documents (AKS10 & AKS11)

    Can you explain me what is the expected behavior when I search by Effective Date? Attaching the step-by-step document which I have used in my usecase.[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/8/Effective-Date-Search-Functionality.docx:320:240]

    Thanks a lot for your help.

      I also tried searching by setting 'Effective Date = 2/20/2019' assuming system uses current date >= the effective date logic but still I don't see my Document (AKS10 & AKS11).
