-Usually the frontend displays date/time values in your local timezone and according to your regional settings. The system stores date/time values in UTC format. +
- +
-Searches for dates must meet the following format: +
-YYYY-MM-DD +
-where YYYY is the 4 digit year number, MM is the two digit month number and DD is the two digit day number, each part connected by a minus +
- +
-Note that in some cases due to UTC format the day number may differ compared to the day number in your local timezone.+
  
 +Searching freely for date and time is not supported because of ambiguities with time zones. Please use our dedicated [[filter|Date Filters]] instead.
