Sorry for the vague-ness and thank you for your help.

When I use SetSearchLimit in my cgi, like this:

      my $low = "2005-01-11";
      my $high = "2005-01-14";
      $search->SetSearchLimit("publicationdate", $low, $high);

It does not limit the search.  In fact, I still get all matching results
regardless of date.  And as I said before, running swish-e from the command
line with this command:

      swish-e -w bush -s publicationdate -L publicationdate 2005-01-11
2005-01-14

Produces the desired results which indicates that the problem lies
somewhere in my perl code.

What does it do instead -- or not do, as the case may be?  I probably
could have answered your question if you provided an example of the
problem.

Nothing.

It's slightly more efficient to use a number to store the dates, but
what you are doing seems fine.
