Hibernate-Search: How to search dates?

Question

@Entity
@Table(name = "USERS")
public class User {
 @Id
 @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
 private long id;

 @Column(name = "USERNAME", nullable = false, length = 20)
 private String userName;

 @Column(name = "PASSWORD", nullable = false, length = 10)
 private String password;

 @Column(name = "Date", nullable = false )
 private Date date;
}

How can I select the records which have the date between

• [now | now-x hours]
• [now | now-x days]
• [now | now-x months]
• [now | now-x years]

Answer 1

the same way as with the other fields: <= >= or between etc

you can use commons-lang / DateUtils to modify the date.
