Afaik, no. Mutt search/limits work on the current opened mailbox.

What you are trying to achieve is from my perspective a corner case and 
make me a bit curious about it. Currently, I cannot think of a situation 
where the Date Header is the only piece of information available to 
search for a specific email; also in a strict string and not like on Tue 
three weeks ago. Keep in mind, the Date field is set by the sender [0]. 
I am not sure which instance actually adds it, mutt (as MUA) or sendmail 
(as MTA).

Anyways, just because I cannot imagine the situation, does not mean 
there isn't one. From what I understood so far, I would have solved that 
with `grep -r`, too. Mutt and the mail indexers I am familiar with do 
not seem to provide what you are asking for.

Cheers,
