title: Searching date meta tags in Sharepoint
body: <p>I'm currently looking at indexing an ASP website from Sharepoint and I need to replicate the old "advanced search" schema that the users are familiar with. In order to do this I need to index a few meta tags from the web pages. This is easily done and for the text fields I can use them in the search as well. However for date meta tags, like "expired" or "published" I'm having some problems. The problem is basically that the meta tags are crawled as "text", but I need Sharepoint to parse them as datetime. I've seen a few posts on <a href="https://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2614064&amp;SiteID=17" rel="noreferrer">TechNet</a> asking for the same, but with no answer.</p>
