Setting time frame in dashboard search

I have saved a search in a dashboard and have it set to a specific data and time range. However, because I want the search to update the data pulled in every time I go onto the dashboard the way the time is set up currently will be an issue. I am trying to make it show from 18:00 the previous day to 06:00 of the current day. I want it to run based on the day that I am running the search without having to change the time frame everyday. Can anybody give me insight on how to do this?

"Custom Time Range" >> "Advanced search language"

Earliest: -1d@d+6h

Latest: -1d@d+18h

In search terms that is "one day ago, snap to day, plus **N* hours*".

The above illustrates how to set the range for an interactive search (because it also displays the resultant calculated times), but the search period syntax is identical for a saved search administered through the manager.
