I am trying to only grab records that fall in a certain date range. The problem is that the timestamp and the date are stored as a string in the same cell. I want to only grab rows with a date that falls betweed 2013-05-01 and 2013-05-03.
date (stored as string)
2013-05-01T23:19:44
2013-05-02T23:19:40
2013-05-06T23:19:46
2013-05-06T23:15:17
mysql
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date BETWEEN 2013-05-01 AND 2013-05-03

Using a Time Frame Sometimes you may want to only find information published during a specific time frame. To limit Google results by date, click on Tools, then click on Any Time and choose the filter or Custom Date Range that interests you.
Below the search box, click Tools. To add filters: In the Tools bar, click the filter and select an option. To remove filters: In the Tools bar, click Clear.
Try
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE STR_TO_DATE(`date`,'%Y-%m-%d') BETWEEN '2013-05-01' AND '2013-05-03'

As @FreshPrinceOfSO absolutely correctly noted no index will be used in that case
