How to add to an existing collection

I wanted to create a smart collection containing files in the date range 01/07/2013 to 16/07/2013. I could not find a way of using this date range as the criteria, so entered the dates 01/07/2013 to 14/07/2013 as a list of arguments, that's all it would accept. The collection was created.

I now need to add the photos for the dates 15/07/2013 and 16/07/3013 but cannot find a way to do this, can anyone please help?

TIA

Yes, only having 13 criteria options can be limiting.

Without knowing how you are constructing your search it is hard to comment… Does the following help to reduce having so many separate criteria entries?

The upper image shows a start and end date range with 3 images in the result. The lower image has an edited date range that excludes one image resulting in two images in the final search.

Otherwise, the Bridge scripting forum could be an option for a possible solution.

Right/Contextual click on the Smart Collection name in order to edit it:

Sorry this does not solve my problem. The edit only allows 13 date

arguments, i need 15 dates. if i change two of the dates to the

additional ones that i need, those that i overwrote are stripped out,

leaving me only 13 dates.

What dates? Creation date and modification date are both search criteria. Just use those.
