Disable contextual date detection Thu Jan 05, 2023 1:28 pm • by MikeP
I use automatic date detection, and several older documents came up as "2023" despite not containing any such date. Using the preview feature (useful!), I spotted the issue: it hilighted phrases such as "start today" in the text, meaning it decides the document is dated today instead of other real dates that may appear in the document.
Can such 'contextual dates' be disabled?

Hazel uses Apple's date detection (like how it does in Mail and Calendar, for example). I do try to filter out things like "today". Can you post the exact text being matched?
