searching for items due "today"

At least once a day I print all the items that are due today. Typically, I print that list multiple times as priorities shift. It would be nice if the search capability would let me specify "today" without hard-wiring a specific date, so I could just click that saved search and not have to pick the actual date. Perhaps this capability already exists and I just don't know what it is?

Create a new search, select due date, with the criteria as either equal or before and then just type in today as the search for the date. (nothing special formatting for today, just the word).

Should work fine - just tried.

If this works, just save the search and you can reuse as often as you like.

Or just view by Due Date, and select Today. I also have a search that I use to update previous items to today that's the same as what cspence outlined - but then I use multi-edit to update to today.

I have been using this search for a long time, and it works perfectly:

Due date was in the last 366 days

This covers anything due today or overdue.

I've used Due Date is before tomorrow, works fine. Lotsa ways.

@gjblair:

I think Salguds' solution is the best so far.

I guess you and I both made the same mistake: When I first created my saved search I had not yet understood that certain key words such as "tomorrow" are allowed in the date search field.
