 If the date is ambiguous, the current locale is used for date comparison. For example, in an mm/dd/yyyy
 locale 2/1/2009 is interpreted as 1 Feb 2009. In a dd/mm/yyyy locale it is interpreted as 2 Jan 2009.  Some
 special date strings are available. The string ``today`` translates to today's date, whatever it is. The

 Hierarchical items (e.g. A.B.C) use an extended syntax to match initial parts of the hierarchy. This is done by adding a period between the exact match indicator (=) and the text. For example, the query ``tags:=.A`` will find the tags `A` and `A.B`, but will not find the tags `AA` or `AA.B`. The query ``tags:=.A.B`` will find the tags `A.B` and `A.B.C`, but not the tag `A`.
