I want to add dates to bullets that have no timestamp. 

As far as i know it is not possible to search if a bullet has a date or not.

has:date -has:date

  How about

  has:date - any date with or without a time
  has:time - any date that has a time
  has:justdate - any date that does not have a time

  You can search for a range of dates by adding a hyphen between two dates... 

  2017 - 2022

  January 2021 - today

  Etc...

  That way you can attempt to include all items that have date stamps...

  ... however I don't think it's possible to exclude a date range... so here's a possible strategy:

  exclude a big enough period... like a whole year:

  -2022

  So if in a particular project all of your dates are from 2022... you can exclude all nodes with a date stamp.

  Let me know if this works!

  I actually found another way. a reddit user was asking for it. 
  to make sure he has everything appointed to him planned he wanted to show everything with a certain tag with a past date or no date.

  How to create a search filter that looks for a tag with EITHER a past date or no date?

  date:past #todo doesn't show the tags without the date. 

  date:past #todo OR #todo adding OR #todo wasn't doing the trick either. as it was showing everything again.

  date:past #todo OR #todo -date:future did the trick
