Comment:
Here are some comments to Joe's observations:
1) Note that when an INSPIRE installation contains 1994-04 in the year
value, or 1994-04-14 in the year value, in both these cases the two
values will get indexed also as 1994-04 (among others), thanks to the
special date-related tokenizer. So in order to find out all papers
from April 1994, it is fully sufficient to search for `year:1994-04`.
One does not have to play with logic like `date > 1994-04 AND ...`
at all.
2) Dunno how SPIRES behaved so far, but the current approach means
that one cannot search for papers that were published on the first day
of a certain month. This seems unnecessarily restrictive to me. I'd
say we should interpret YYYY-MM as a search for any day of the month,
and YYYY-MM-DD as a search for the given day of the month, and things
will behave just fine this way.
So I still consider this first-day-means-full-month behaviour more as
a bug than as a feature. If we want this for some reason, then this
behaviour should be configurable, and we should also be stripping
trailing `-01` day from search strings even when dateutil is not
installed, for consistency reasons. (It is really simple to do.)
But I would argue that we should not take YYYY-MM-01 for YYYY-MM in
the first place, unless it is really needed for some SPIRES legacy
reasons or something...
