    <p>All dates in the "Dates" section of a record are indexed for use
      in date-range searches, regardless of the label. <br>
    </p>
    <p>For example, if something was created between 1880 and 1885, but
      it was also published in June 1950, and digitized on 4th May 2010,
      then it'll be indexed with the years 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884,
      1885, 1950, and 2010. Therefore, as well as matching searches with
      a date range of 1800-1900, it'll also match 1900-2000, or even
      2000-present. But it won't match dates ranges in the gaps between,
      i.e. any subset of 1886-1949 or 1951-2009.</p>
    <p>It would be possible to write a plug-in to choose which dates to
      index.<br>

      <div dir="ltr">Hello!
        <div>Forgive me if this is a silly question -- we're new to
          using ArchivesSpace! I'm confused as to how the dates work
          when entered in the search function ("From year" and "To year"
          boxes). Does narrowing your search by date range only pull
          records marked with dates that fall within? I've tried
          doing this in our Aspace instance, as well as in a few others,
          and results show up that are not within the dates. For
          example, with a parameter of 1900 to 2000, results with dates
          from the 1800s were included. I think I'm not understanding
          how this actually works and before we go live for our users to
          access our finding aids, I want to make sure we know what
          we're talking about!</div>
