Can I find a track released between two dates on "advanced query syntax"?

So, basically, I’m trying to find a band I know that was from the 60s, but I can’t remember much about them, except that they have a song with the word “fire” on the title.

I know that if I see the name of the band, I will remember it, but if I try to search for the word “fire” on musicbrainz, it finds more than 150,000 results. I was hoping to search for the word “fire”, but only on the songs released on the 60s, but I couldn’t understand how to do it.

You can use Indexed search with advanced query syntax to refine the search:
A query fire AND date:[1960 TO 1969] on recordings will narrow it down to 717 results :slight_smile:

If it gets limited to recording names containing fire (assuming the linked recording name is similar to the track name) we get it down to even 288 results :smiley:: Search Results - MusicBrainz

Thanks. What I couldn’t get was how to use the [1960 TO 1969], becausa I didn’t find it anywhere on the link about how to use the “advanced query”

It’s linked on the Query syntax page → Lucene Search Syntax (Range searches)
