I am extremely glad you asked this question because I've just learned
how to use the Range
query with Liferay's
Custom Filter widget (see the helpful examples
article too). I've tested a bit on DXP 7.3 SP1 and here's what I've
found, using this Jira
ticket comment as a guide:
Complex Query Builder takes a single string value per query.
Range Query can take up to 4 input values: gte, gt, lte, lt.
Therefore, we must implement parsing to extract these input values
from the single string.
Suggested notation:
[10 20] => gte: 10, lte:20
]10 20[ => gt: 10, lt:20
[10 20[ => gte: 10, lt:20
]10 20] => gt: 10, lte:20
[now/d now+1d/d[ => gte: now/d , lt: now+1d/d
Add a Custom Filter to a page and configure it like this:
Filter Field: modified
Filter Value: [20210617175020 now/d]
This catches stuff greater than or equal
to June 16 and less than or equal to now (I don't know if that's best)
Filter Query Type: Range
Occur: should
Boost: 500 (or whatever you want)
Add more Custom Filters and for the other date ranges you want to set
different boost values for.
I've created LRDOCS-9576 so
we can create documentation for this special query case.
