Just having to type "t" instead of "today". Or "y" instead of "yesterday". It's only a few keystrokes but it would save a ton of time.
Some more examples:
"last1mins" -> 1m
"last2days" -> 2d
"last1weeks" -> 1w
"last1months" -> 1mo
"last1years" -> 1y
And so on...
The date functions themselves already have aliases (eg. date modified is already "dm"), so it would be perfect if their values did, too.

Re: Aliases for date constants
I have to be careful with t as t is used in iso-8601 dates to specify a time, for example:
dm:t23:09 would search for Today at 23:09 (for the next major version of Everything).
t on its own should be fine to use a Today.
I've added support for abbreviations for the next version of Everything, such as
1m for last1minute
2d for last2days
w for last1week
3mo for last3months
1y for last1year
y for yesterday (or would last1year be more appropriate? -yesterday seems more relevant)
Thanks for the suggestion.
For now, please consider adding a filter macro:

For now, please consider adding a filter macro:
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
- Change the Name to: Date Modified Today
- Change the Search to: dm:today
- Change the Macro to: dmt
- Click OK.
- Now, when you search for dmt: Everything, will instead search for dm:today.
