[Developers] Two MQL questions

These are a bit abstract, and just things I was thinking about rather
than actual problems with existing code, but I was wondering:

1) If I want to find users in Australia I can naively search for
"location":"Australia", but what if someone has specified some smaller
location within Australia, eg. "Melbourne, Australia" or "North
Carlton, Victoria" or even "Building 3, Engineering department,
Melbourne University" (I just made that one up)?  Assuming a
contains/contained by relationship and that the objects properly
reflect that relationship, how could I search for "Anyone in Australia
or in any sub-part of Australia"?

2) How do you search between two dates, eg. People born between 1970 and 1980.

Thanks,

K.
