I’m tried a bunch of stuff.
Can someone give me search syntax that shows all highlights from markdown documents from February 14, 2024 until today, etc
Thanks
PS I tried this and 50 other things for a similar search
(created>=2024-02-01 and created<=2024-12-31) and (content:==.*?==)
Most punctuation characters are not indexed, so your chances to find all highlights (or all lists, boldened, italicized or blockquoted text) are dim. Probably null.
You could create a smart group with your first two conditions and then use a script to search through the plainText attributes of the flies in that group.
First search for created>=2024-02-01 created<=2024-12-31 kind:markdown, then select the search results and use Tools > Summarize Annotations
Welcome @geekboy
Not, this is not possible. Those characters are not indexed for searching.
Do what @cgrunenberg suggested 
This is the best community response I’ve ever seen. And the developer. Thanks!
This date search turn up nothing but the markdown does? What am I doing wrong?
Did you search in all databases?
Yes.
Also, I also get thrown into the middle of my inbox which has thousands of documents and it takes me forever to get back up to the scrollbar
Any tips other than going to front and coming back in?

What does this mean?
I have both but am on the iPad version and don’t have this extended UI
Also, what I mean is that sometimes, for one of several reasons, I find myself halfway down the inbox.
If I want to go to the top, I have to scroll through thousands of documents. Surely there is an easier way to get back to the top?
Sometimes I go to the front page of the app and reenter inbox. Often that puts me back at top
Love this program but there are a few basic things (which could be my fault for sure) that are killing me
created>=2024-02-01 created<=2024-12-31 kind:markdown
When I type this in I get nothing from the iPad version’s search box. Kind works. Date returns nothing
DEVONthink is not DEVONthink To Go. They are different applications on different platforms with differing underlying technologies. So UI will be different for sure and some functions as well.
You can scroll to the top just as you can in most well-behaved iOS apps: tap the top of the screen, e.g., by the notch on an iPhone.
And apologies if I missed this was posted in the DEVONthink To Go section. Did it move or was I momentarily blinded? 
That they are two different apps is 100% obvious to me.
Any idea why my searches aren’t working?
PS. Mindblow on this tip: You can scroll to the top just as you can in most well-behaved iOS apps: tap the top of the screen, e.g., by the notch on an iPhone.
Just what I said: So UI will be different for sure and some functions as well. There isn’t parity in search options in both applications. There is more than it used to be but some things remain different.

I’m fine with that.
Any way to get my desired search to work in the iPad version?
I’ve been using this app for years — utilizing it primarily as a web clipper.
I am eager to take things to the next level after using the app seriously for the last year managing my…. “Chats”
If you are the developer, I am happy to describe my specific use case. In short, it would help me to be able to create a digest of some sort of highlights that meet certain criteria, etc.
Is there any way for me to search using RegEx?
No, full regex is not supported.
