Filtering out the spotlighted activities

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how when using the spotlight to highlight a period of time I can show on the task list only those highlighted and nothing else?

I've tried a filter but can't seem to find anything that will select a range of dates rather than a start or end date. For example I want to show anything from 2 weeks ago to 2 weeks in the future whether it's started, ended or currently in progress with a start or end date before or after my range of dates.

any assistance greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Thom
