Hello I am new to elastic world and I am trying to figure out how can I find if a field for example "text" (which represents the whole text indexed) has a date that is in a specific range ?
Example:
In doc\_1 in field "text" we have "I was born on 27/05/1995" and I want to check if this document has a date inside it, which is between 20/05/1995 and 30/05/1995.
If this is not possible then how can I take this date "27/05/1995" and store it into a new field when I am indexing this doc ? And can you give me a tip about the best approach when we talk about indexing documents containing dates ?
Thank you
