Lucene Query on a DateField indexed by Solr - Stack Overflow

The "1336867200000" is a timestamp, yes.

TermRangeQuery nq1 = new TermRangeQuery("publish_date",  "1299628800000", "1336867200000", true, true);  TermRangeQuery nq1 = new TermRangeQuery("publish_date",  "1299628800", "1336867200", true, true);   TermRangeQuery nq1 = new TermRangeQuery("publish_date",  "2012-09-10T00:00:00Z", "2012-10-10T00:00:00Z", true, true);   TermRangeQuery nq1 = new TermRangeQuery("publish_date",  "20120910", "20121010", true, true);  

Above ones won't work because you are using string parameter for numeric data.

NumericRangeQuery nq1 = NumericRangeQuery.newLongRange("publish_date", 1299628800, 1336867200, true, true);  

This one wouldn't work because you didn't pad it with enough zeroes. 1299628800 stands for Fri Jan 16 02:00:28 GMT 1970.

If you have document(s) dated between 09/03/2011 and 13/05/2012, the following should work:

NumericRangeQuery nq1 = NumericRangeQuery.newLongRange("publish_date", 129962880000
