Add before: as a search operator
Problem
When I want to search for a date that has passed, I use within:-120m.
Usage
before:DATE*, where DATE* follows conventions in the search operators document.
before:0d = before today
before:3d = the past + the next 3 days
Why
before: is the opposite of since:, but it doesn’t exist. It has the same use case for since as you could already use “within:-DATE* within:DATE*” to specify a date range, but since: simplifies things. So can before:
