As a staff user, I would like to be able to search for YYYY or YYYY-MM dates in advanced search

Description

As a staff user, I would like to be able to search for YYYY and YYYY-MM format dates in advanced search. Currently it is only possible to search for YYYY-MM-DD format dates. This is in contrast to the dates that can be associated with records within the application, which can be expressed as YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD dates.

The specific issue for the staff side of this is getting resolved by the work done for https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-573

Since I'm the person who proposed and managed development of the staff side advanced search (actual implementation done by HM, of course) I'm probably not the best person to ask about updating the PUI. Would probably look very similar, which works very well for me, but admittedly not for everyone.

In an ideal world, what would you like it to look like instead? If you could mock something up, that would be great!

I'm open to suggestions for improving the staff UI advanced search. Ironically, I didn't realize until just now that it was possible to add additional search lines in the PUI, so it can probably be improved on both ends.

For me on the staff side I think it's important to distinguish between date field searches and text field searches. The PUI conflates them visually in a way that I find confusing.

Ah! Thanks! , how do you feel about the intuitive design of the advanced search? I wonder if the search could styled similar to the PUI search? It might make searching by date possibly more clear to users.
