Google Search Commands - Date Syntax

Hi want to search for a subject or keyword in google using a date range? Well you can but you need to convert the date to a julian number. Who said that life was easy? What the hell is a julian date?
To Quote;http://www.maa.mhn.de/Scholar/times.html#juli
The Julian day number -- or simply the Julian day -- is a continuous count of days, starting with the day 0 that began on the 1st of January, 4713 BC at 12 o'clock noon.
Dig on the internet for more info on this story ....

Anyway so you want to find;
The date range syntax does wonders for narrowing your search results.
Peter Wells the guitarist just passed away, he was a legend and a awesome slide guitarist. To find info on Pete from 01/01/2000 to 27/3/2006, you would enter the following into Google;

"Peter Wells" "rose tattoo" daterange:2451545-2453822

Cool hey?

If you come across any good search syntax for google, msn or yahoo be sure to let me know.
