The feature

Hi,
I would like to be able to search photos with multiple dates (like "pictures from this this week through several years").
For example to be able to search pictures between multiple takenAfter and takenBefore
Example using API:

curl -L '/api/search/metadata' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-d '{
  dates: [
  	{"takenAfter":"2024-08-19", takenBefore:"2024-08-25"},
  	{"takenAfter":"2023-08-19", takenBefore:"2023-08-25"},
  	{"takenAfter":"2022-08-19", takenBefore:"2022-08-25"},
  ]
}'

I haven't tried to put multiple dates with the API, but since it is not documented I guess it is not implemented.

I've been looking if this was already possible but couldn't find it.

Why don't you just run multiple individual queries and combine the responses yourself?

Yes, that is one solution using the API, but using the UI it won't be possible this way.
But for my use case I can run multiple queries.
Thanks.
