You can use 'Between' search. Use either Advanced search page or search panel for this purpose.

Yes, but it search in the same coloum and not between the coloum startDay and the coloum endDay.

I see what you saying.
You can add two search conditions, one condition for each field:

startDay less than 17-05-2012

endDay more than 17-05-2012

Better solution
WHERE (CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, GETDATE()))) between StartDay and EndDay)
this is for the curent day GETDATE()

and this is for to convert the datatype DateTime to only Date (CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, GETDATE())))
thanks
