# LTNOW

The `LTNOW` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a date that is smaller than the current date and time. That is, all documents that were indexed with dates before the current time.

NOTE: You can optimize the field specifier speed by restricting the field to the `NumericDateType` property type.

## Format

    FieldText=LTNOW{}:yourFields

`yourFields` | One or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains a date that is smaller than the `AUTNDATE`. That is all documents that were indexed with dates before the current time. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=LTNOW{}:TIME

The `TIME` field must contain a date that is smaller than the `AUTNDATE` for the document to return.

    FieldText=LTNOW{}:TIME:DATE

The `TIME` or `DATE` field must contain a date that is smaller than the `AUTNDATE` for the document to return.
