Date query (problem with format)

Hi,

I have an index with a date field with dd/mm/yyyy format and I would like to search the documents of a specific day but maybe the format could not be the same as the index. How can I pass the format for parse the date?

Thanks

That's a problem to solve at index time as you want to have a field which mapping is date not text.

Then it's not anymore a problem at query time.
