Hi there,  
I'm in a timezone UTC +2. When I'm sending data from my database to Elastic, I'm converting all dates into UTC +0 format. Then Elastic formats a date into UTC +2 (as it's indicated in Advanced Settings).  
The question is the following: why search filters use UTC +0 format instead of the format that is indicated in Settings?  
To get all results from 23 Jan 00:00 I'm indicating the time needed minus 2 hours:

The result if I'm indicating the exact time needed:
