Body: <p>Does the control panel search support postDate, expiryDate, dateCreated, dateUpdated?</p>
  
  <p>For a custom date field, the below will return all dates in October 2017:<br>
  <code>customDate:2017-10</code></p>
  
  <p>But for entry attributes like postDate it returns nothing:<br>
  <code>postDate:2017-09</code></p>
  
  <p>Sure would be good to be able to search by these date values.</p>

  Does the control panel search support postDate, expiryDate, dateCreated, dateUpdated?
  
  For a custom date field, the below will return all dates in October 2017:  
  `customDate:2017-10`
  
  But for entry attributes like postDate it returns nothing:  
  `postDate:2017-09`
  
  Sure would be good to be able to search by these date values.

  Currently, the `postDate` of an entry is not indexed for search.
  
  Kind of hacky, but you could make a custom DateTime field with duplicate information (i.e. `myPostDate`) and do a search based on that.
