I would just like to know how Date fields are searched.

In order to do this, I want to know in what format should I search.

Do I search datetime as a timestamp? as a string?

When using the range filters, Low Search will transform a given date for a date field to a UNIX timestamp, using strtotime(), unless an integer is given; then a timestamp is assumed.

Most dates in EE are stored as UNIX timestamps, which are accurate to the second. When you enter a date without a time, 00:00:00 is assumed as time (standard strtotime behaviour).

Low Search automatically detect the date field. You should search the date in the format of yyyy-mm-dd (like 2012-01-01).
