There's no timezone info stored in the index, just a unix
timestamp.  So, I'd expect server configuration would be the
difference.


The dates that swish does display are done with:

    if ( is_meta_date(meta_entry) )
    {
        s=emalloc(30);
        i = convPropValue2ULong(prop->propValue); /* read binary */
        i = UNPACKLONG(i);     /* Convert the portable number */
        strftime(s,30, DATE_FORMAT_STRING, (struct tm *)localtime((time_t *)&i));
        return s;
    }

This looks right, no?
