check passed input date and database created_at date

in the blade file, I have a form with input as the date

 <form action="{{ route('searchreportresultdate') }}" method="POST" >
                             @csrf
                            <div class="modal-body pd-20">
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <label for="brand name">Seach By Date</label>
                                    <input type="date" required name="date" id="name" value="" class="form-control">
                                </div>

                            </div>
                            <div class="modal-footer">
                                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-info pd-x-20">Submit</button>
                           </div>

                        </form>

in the controller, i want to check the date passed from the form and product created timestamp(created_at)

while dd($result) i am getting nothing

   public function searchreportresultdate(Request $request){
        $date=$request->date; //=2021-2-20
        $result=Product::where('status',1)->where('created_at',$date)->get();

        dd($result);

     }

i think the date in the database is in y-m-d h:m:s how that h:m:s can be excluded and get the only created_at in format=Y-m-d
