Search Messages by Date

Is there a way to search messages by date? I found an earlier post saying you could do this on a Mac by typing "kind:message created:" with the date in Spotlight. However, this only works for me for the last three days. I am trying to find texts from 2022, and nothing shows up when I enter those dates or anything prior to a few days ago.

Does the Spotlight search only work for very recent texts, or is there something I need to do to fix that? If not, is there any other way for me to find texts from a specific date in 2022 without scrolling back through individual conversations?
