filtering searches or smart groups by date

Currently it seems not possible to create smart groups (or Find in Library) that are restricted to particular date ranges. Is this correct? For instance, I would like to create a smart group based on keywords that returns only references published after 2010. Is there a work-around?
Best,
Timo

I suspect you can do something like this with an SQL search. Here's a quick example (I'm sure there are better ways):
thedate REGEX '201[0-9]'
will find references where the date field holds a 4 digit (or larger) number beginning with "201"

Can this be done with smart groups?

That IS for a smart group (SQL).

Great. I realize now that SQL/Regex search from the dropdown menu (Refs) is not the same as right clicking in the sidebar. Sorry about that. Was able to make it work now. Thank you.
