I am having trouble searching for files created in a given month.
When I search using dc:jan/2018 then Everything returns files from January 2019 not January 2018.
The results are the same If I search with dc:jan/2017 .
Everything appears to be ignoring the year.
However using numerals does work correctly, for example dc:01/2017 gives files from January 2017, as required.
------
Exploring this further it seems Everything also ignores months written in letters, with the exception of "January" (or "Jan").
If I search with dc:jan I get the results for this month, as required.
However I get no results if I use dc:feb or dc:mar or dc:apr, etc (or dc:february, dc:march, dc:april, etc).
-------
I noticed this happening on Everything v1.4.1.928 and it also happens on v.1.4.1.895
I have set Everything options to index date created.
The above problems occur with or without setting "Fast date Created Sort".
Thanks for any help.

Re: Selecting files using month name
Confirmed; same here (version 1.4.1.895)
But -for example- dm:lastfeb does report the files modified in february 2018.

Re: Selecting files using month name
Everything 1.4 does not understand months when used with years, eg: jan/2018
Please use numerals only, eg: 01/2018.
The next major version of Everything will support month names with years.
as for dc:feb, if the year is not specified the current year is used, so this would search for dc:02/2019
dc:lastfeb should work, as Everything will treat this as dc:02/2018
The best move here, might be to make Everything automatically treat dates that are in the future, that do not already have a prefix, with the "last" prefix, eg: dc:feb, since it is in the future, Everything perhaps should treat this as dc:lastfeb automatically.
