due:"x days ago"

How do I search for tasks due 2 days ago? I tried googling, but unfortunately, "* days ago" is quite a common phrase, so no luck there.

Thanks in advance,
Nikola

Hi Nikola,
Unfortunately it's not currently possible to use the "due" search operators to search backwards with relative search dates. However, you can use an absolute date to find tasks due 2 days ago.

For example, if today is December 11, try searching for the following:

due:12/9/2011

Hope that helps!

Right :-D I'm asking because I'd liek to make a smart list to see tasks that were due the day before yesterday, but that then obviously is not possible.

I suppose implementing backward relative search is not on the top of the TODO file, right? :-D If it's not a secret: why didn't you implement this feature? It seems like a quite simple thing to implement when you already hafe forward relative search...

Hi Nikola,
The idea has been suggested in our Ideas forum, so if you haven't already, you may want vote for it here to show your support.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to say why a particular search operator was or wasn't implemented. As mentioned in that forum thread, though, this is something we may be able to look into.

Thanks for your feedback on this.
