Assign the start of the search time interval to the field
provided by parameter as
.
The time is represented as milliseconds since January 1, 1970
(UTC). In live queries (where the search time interval is
forever moving), start()
is the current
time minus the width of the search interval.
Note
The parser does not have a search interval; therefore, it does
not make sense to use the start()
query
function here.
