Hi royimad

that would be latest=-1d@d to be used in your search.

You can find time modifiers here or in the UI select the time range picker - custom time and in the next screen select Advanced search language and start with your test. The nice thing in the UI is, that the time modifiers like -1d@d gets translated into human readable time.

hope that helps....

cheers, MuS
