Hi All,

I need a date range query for which input will be only year, but in the response, it should contain all the documents within that year like.  
Find the below example,

> "startDate": {  
> "type": "date",  
> "format": "yyyy-MM-dd||yyyy-MM||yyyy"  
> }

While indexing data into ES, this field may contain different values like below,

1. 2017
2. 2017-09
3. 2017-08-23  
So, with the below query, when i am searching i am getting only one document as response.

> {  
> "query":{  
> "range":{  
> "standardisedFinancials.identification.startDate":{  
> "gte":"2014",  
> "lte":"2014"  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> Could someone please help me on writing the query which gets all the documents containing 2014 as well as 2014-09-20.

Thanks,  
Ram Prasad G

Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer.
