Requested feature overview description.

As the title suggests, a search field in which a date can be entered to search on when a blip, forum or Wiki was created, similar to how you can search on when a comment was left or when a tag edit was made.

Why would it be useful?

Just like with tags and comments, it's useful to search for a specific period when a blip, forum or Wiki was created, especially when a bunch of blips or forum posts are in violation, admins could add a search on a date rather than a bunch of individual links.

There are probably other reasons on why it would be useful, but it generally boils down to more searchability.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?

Blips/Forum/Wiki.

Updated

Any idea whether it'd be viable to add multiple dates in one search? Or just add a from-here-to-there function'? Ie. August 5-15 giving you all blips/forums edited or posted between said dates.

If only the ability to search a single date at a time exists, I figure it'd get pretty messy.

To search on a single date, you can just add the date of that day, plus the date of the day afterwards, just by using the date-to-date search.
