Search = Completed tasks for one day

I want to know the number of hours worked for a particular day.

In Search, I used rule "Checked Off" = "yes"
I added rule "Date Completed" "Was" (or "Is" doesn't matter) = Fill in one day from the calendar
Ran Search and the answer comes up "You've done everything in this search!"

Hmm... I know that - I used Checked Off = yes.

So, with much experimentation, I finally stumble on the rule "Due Date" and I get my answer.

In terms of UI design, as a web designer for 11 years in a large corp,, "Date Completed" should give me the answer as well. Any logic as to why it doesn't?

Maybe your search criteria was incorrect? Date Completed work fine for me. Maybe there was no completed task on the day you selected? :-)

Here's an advanced search that I just ran and that worked fine:

Match [All] of the following criteria:

[Checked Off] [yes]
AND [Date Completed] [is after] [11/01/2016]
AND [Date Completed] [is before] [18/01/2016]


It returns all the tasks I performed last week.

Thanks Adrien,

I knew a range worked because I have been running reports each month, but, this time, I was trying to isolate one day. So, I ran your example and realized that the problem lies in when the task was "Due" vs. when I checked it off: "Date Completed".

I frequently don't get to updating my todo list until the following day (or later) so it must record the completed day on the day I check it off even though it was actually completed on the day it was due. I wasn't separating those two activities. At least I think that is what is going on.

As you have discovered, "Due-date" and "Completion Date" are not the same thing. It sounds like you were searching on the completion date, but really wanted to be searching the due-date. Were you able to adjust your search to find the tasks you are looking for?
