I found this site that has operators you can type in the search bar:

https://seosly.com/youtube-search-operators/

Date operators:

  before:[date]

  after:[date]

  [search term], today

  [search term], last hour

  [search term], this month

  [search term], this year
I tried the search:

  tesla, before:2019-01-02, after:2019-01-01
And it appeared to work like you'd expect.

Edit: I'm not sure how intuitive the operators are. Ex: Combining them doesn't seem to give the expected results.

It's so weird to me how hard it is to find this sort of reference information.

I experienced the same thing when looking for a definitive list of voice commands for Android auto.

In the old days we carried around pocket sized cards with the full set of all possible instructions/ parameters.

These days you have to search on Google, and then look at whichever ad-ridden hellhole has played the SEO game most effectively. That might have the answers, or it might be stale since it was originally copied and pasted from some other site long ago.

Why doesn't YouTube provide this information themselves?

believe its your use of commas,

need to use plus "+"

tesla, before:2019-01-02 + after:2019-01-01

i came across another site that had a few more, https://granwehr.com/blog/youtube-search-operators#15-advanc...
