Hi, Is it possible to use 'pre\_zone' and 'post\_zone' with simple search not using date histogram ? For example, I would like to get converted to given timezone date in result for: { "query":{ "term":{ "\_all":"help" } } } Thanks for help. ---

I don't see any date relevant info here in your query. Hits you get back will have hte time you indexed it with, and for things like range queries, you can specify the time zone in the string representation of the date.

Thanks, I thought that there is a way that Elasticsearch could give me a date in returned document converted to the requested timezone. But I can do this on my side too so this is not that important. You mentioned about specifying time zone in the string representation of date while sending range queries, could you give me any example how to specify the timezone this way ? Thanks Best regards.

By default, elasticsearch works with the ISO8601 date format (for date types): [ISO 8601 - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601).
