Searching on a date

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Is there a way to search on a date or a number of dates.

I have a date field that is stored in the index as so:

"mydate":{
"type" : "date",
"index" : "not_analyzed",
"format" : "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ||yyyy-MM-dd"
},

but I want to be able to search for a document that has a particular date
(not a range query) i.e.

myDate:2012-05-14

or even search for documents that have these partiuclar dates

myDate:2012-05-14 OR myDate:2013-05-14

Is it possible to index a text version of the field and remove the time
stamp then I can treat it as this particualr date query as a text query.

IMHO, you should remove it on client side prior to indexing.
Otherwise, using range queries is fine with dates. Why don't you want to use Range?

You're right I can use range query for this search. Thanks
