Appendix C: Date Formatting
The search appliance recognizes dates in most reasonable formats. However, dates that only mention
the year (YY or YYYY), such as 2008, are not used. For dates in the format month year, the date is
assumed to be the first of the month. The search appliance currently recognizes most Latin1 month
names, but not Chinese, Japanese, or Korean month names.

O is used in a standard date format that follows ISO/IEC 8824.

minus sign indicates that the local time is ahead of UT; a plus
sign, behind UT; and the letter Z, equal to UT.

minus sign because
it is ahead of UT.
