Date aggregations support about bluge HOT 2 CLOSED

Welcome @jney

Aggregations are not used to filter results, they are used to describe the result set (even search hits not returned). For example, lets say you do a simple search for the term "foo". It might match 578 documents, but by default we're only going to return the top 10. Aggregations allow you collect and return some useful details about all 578. For example, if we had used a date aggregation, it could have told us that 100 of the 578 were recently updated. Think of it as a way to return aggregated details about the entire set of matching documents.

That said, it sounds like you're interested in filtering your search results by date, and for that you do not use aggregations, you will use the DateRangeQuery. There is a more complete example of indexing and searching dates here: https://github.com/blugelabs/bluge_examples/blob/master/dates/main.go

Please start by taking a look at this, and see if that answers your questions, or if you have more questions.
