Clarification Regarding Search Tool Date Ranges

When searching for items within a course (such as student contributions or postings) you can search by a date range using the Search Tool.

When you search by a date range, you’re prompted for a Start and End date (there’s no option to specify the time of day). When you enter a date, Blackboard assumes you want an item that is date stamped 12:01 a.m. or after on the date specified. So if you enter a date range of August 15 to August 15, you’ll retrieve no listings since no items would be date stamped between 12:01 a.m. and 12:01 a.m. on the specified date.

In order to successfully search for activity on a given date (e.g. August 15, 2006), use the desired date as the Start date and the next day (e.g. August 16, 2006) as the End date.
