It would be good to add support for date operators for things like
"yesterday", "2 weeks ago", etc.  But we don't have that yet.  I
suggest filing a bug in bugzilla or sending a patch. ;)

Beagle does support date queries, though.  So if you knew the date,
you could programmatically construct the extra query parameter, which
would be something like:

    date:20071017
