Just having to type "t" instead of "today". Or "y" instead of "yesterday". It's only a few keystrokes but it would save a ton of time.
Some more examples:
"last1mins" -> 1m
"last2days" -> 2d
"last1weeks" -> 1w
"last1months" -> 1mo
"last1years" -> 1y
And so on...
The date functions themselves already have aliases (eg. date modified is already "dm"), so it would be perfect if their values did, too.
Aliases for date constants
Re: Aliases for date constants
I have to be careful with t as t is used in iso-8601 dates to specify a time, for example:
dm:t23:09 would search for Today at 23:09 (for the next major version of Everything).
t on its own should be fine to use a Today.
I've added support for abbreviations for the next version of Everything, such as
1m for last1minute
2d for last2days
w for last1week
3mo for last3months
1y for last1year
y for yesterday (or would last1year be more appropriate? -yesterday seems more relevant)
Thanks for the suggestion.
For now, please consider adding a filter macro:
dm:t23:09 would search for Today at 23:09 (for the next major version of Everything).

For now, please consider adding a filter macro:
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
- Change the Name to: Date Modified Today
- Change the Search to: dm:today
- Change the Macro to: dmt
- Click OK.
- Now, when you search for dmt: Everything, will instead search for dm:today.
