Using a DateFilter without a query

Hi,

is it possible to use a DateFilter without a query. I would like to get all
Documents from within a certain period of time WITHOUT specifying any query
except the range of dates.

OR

Is there something like query that will always return all documents from an
index?

Jan

I don't know, but I'd like to know.  Have you tried it?

This has been asked in the past.  It can't be done, but you could work
around it by adding a field with a known, constant value to each
document.  Then searching for that will give you all documents in the
index.
Is there a better way?
