### Query Filters
Use structured query syntax to filter the natural language search results
- **Word Filter**: Get entries that include/exclude a specified term
- Entries that contain term_to_include: `+"term_to_include"`
- Entries that contain term_to_exclude: `-"term_to_exclude"`
- **Date Filter**: Get entries containing dates in YYYY-MM-DD format from specified date (range)
- Entries from April 1st 1984: `dt:"1984-04-01"`
- Entries after March 31st 1984: `dt>="1984-04-01"`
- Entries before April 2nd 1984 : `dt<="1984-04-01"`
- **File Filter**: Get entries from a specified file
- Entries from incoming.org file: `file:"incoming.org"`
- Combined Example
- `what is the meaning of life? file:"1984.org" dt>="1984-01-01" dt<="1985-01-01" -"big" -"brother"`
- Adds all filters to the natural language query. It should return entries
- from the file *1984.org*
- containing dates from the year *1984*
- excluding words *"big"* and *"brother"*
- that best match the natural language query *"what is the meaning of life?"*
