When the example file below is added to the agenda file list, and I

CLOSED>="<2009-01-01>"
This one works fine for me.
CLOSED="<2009-01-07>"
This one does not, because the CLOSED time stamp
in the example also contains a time, while you comparison value is taken
to be at midnight.

CLOSED={2009}

DEADLINE="<2009-01-28>"
For me it works fine.

DEADLINE>="<2009-01-28>"
FWIW I'm using version 6.17b. Am I just using this format incorrectly?
My apologies. I recently installed 6.17b, but to the wrong lisp target
directory (i.e. so I was effectively using an older version of the code,
6.12b I think). After installing it in the proper directory this works
fine.
:-) Yes, many problems come from running one version and reading the manual
of another version :-)
I am glad it works. Even though, looking at your post, I am wondering if it
would be useful
to limit the comparison to "date-only" if the comparison value is a date
without a time.......

That's probably a good idea to avoid confusion, though I'm not
sure how often one searches for a specific day with these. For
closed items I tend to use a timeline display, but was looking at
using a range of dates instead when I noticed the problem. The
only reason I tried a single date was to produce another data
point after I noticed that the '>=' seemed to fail.
