Here's a work around:
1. Define a schema with the date as a string and use the different whitespace
analyzer:
{field, [
{name, "birthday"},
{type, string},
{analyzer_factory,
"com.basho.search.analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzerFactory"}
]}
2. Store dates as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. Don't even think about adding '-' or ':' or
' ' anywhere in there, as it will split the tokens.
3. Then, query ranges in the same format as above will do what you think that
should.
