             Summary: Advanced search - date filters in JSP interface are 
requiring confusing date formats
                 Key: DS-1337
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1337
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: 

*Location*: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/discover?scope=%2F&query=Test&submit=Go
*User-Agent*: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101

This isn't a bug, but the date filtering in the JSP interface is not very user 
friendly. Search on date and filters expects the date format to be on the form: 
2012-10-11 - which is how the information is stored and on the xml interface 
also displayed. However in the JSP UI most users will see the following form 
1-Oct-1998 (unless the can be bothered to go to the full item page) and would 
therefore assume that that also would be the format for search filtering. 

I'm assuming that in the long term the format will be standardised on 
2012-10-11, however as the JSP interface is likely to survive for a short while 
longer it may be worth amending this at least if it is an easy thing to fix.
