Why Does Date Search Fail on Mobile?

Date search fails on mobile mostly because the phone keyboard changes what you typed. Listed below are the 5 typing problems and their fixes.

Problem	What happens	Fix
Autocorrect adds a space after the colon	since: 2024-06-01 returns nothing	Delete the space: since:2024-06-01
Smart punctuation changes quotes	Curly quotes break an exact phrase	Turn off Smart Punctuation (iPhone) or retype the quotes
Keyboard capitalises the operator	Since: may not work	Keep operators lowercase
Dashes replaced	A long dash between date parts breaks the date	Use the hyphen key: 2024-06-01
Wrong tab	Top shows only popular posts	Tap Latest

Keep OR uppercase, and every other operator lowercase (twitter-advanced-search reference).
