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.
