Find datetime in a vector

Hello,
I want to find the index of two times that belong on a colum with a bunch of timedates
t1 = datetime('10-09-2018 00:00:00','Format','dd-MM-uuuu HH:mm:ss')
t2 = datetime('28-09-2018 23:59:00','Format','dd-MM-uuuu HH:mm:ss')
idx_t1 = find(t_ref==t1)
idx_t2 = find(t_ref==t2)
idx_t1 should be 1020961 and idx_t2 1048320, but the results are empty
Thanks

Use ismember
Or
idx = knnsearch(datenum(t_ref),datenum(t1)) ;
t_ref(idx)
t1
Or
dt = abs((datenum(t_ref)-datenum(t1))) ;
[val,idx] = min(dt) ;
t_ref(idx)

Any idea with the other two functions doesnt work?
Because, despite your statement, neither t1 nor t2 are present within t_ref. Note that the 'Format' property has no influence on the actual content of the datetime, so if they differ at the millisecond level, == will return false, even though you're not displaying the milliseconds.
If you want to get rid of the milliseconds:
t_ref.Second = floor(t_ref.Second); %or round if you prefer rounding to the nearest second
