Okay, same test for you! What does this return?

(gnus-search-query-parse-date "3d")
(gnus-search-parse-query "since:3d")

You haven't said what search engine you're using, but if it's notmuch:

(gnus-search-transform
 (make-instance 'gnus-search-notmuch)
 (gnus-search-parse-query "since:3d")) -> "date:1/27/2023.."

And can you tell me what locale your machine is in? Does Julien's last
patch fix the problem?
