Smartlist: Overdue by more than 2 months?

inbetweener says:
Hi,

I'm trying to create a smartlist that picks up all items on my massively oversized unwieldily crazy to do list that are over 2 months.

I'm using the dueBefore: operator, but I just can't figure out a syntax which will pick up just these items...

Help?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
You're right, this was tough to get the syntax to work. I was trying to do something like, dueBefore: "2 months of today" but that wasn't working really.

I don't know. I didn't see any date formats for like, LAST month, or LAST Tuesday, ya know?

My best suggestion is just do a quick search like this: dueBefore: 10/22/09 when you're looking for these kind of tasks.

It's not possible to use the due* search operators to look backward relatively, e.g. dueBefore:"1 week of today" will look for tasks due before next week. You could, however, set it to an absolute date; dueBefore:"12/31/2009" would work just fine.
