Default Better date/time control in searches

Is it possible to use any form of an ANSI/ISO standard date or date+time string in a search ?
The:
- after:
- before:
- date:
search words fail with the following:
2007-09-28
2007-09-28 17:22
'2007-09-28 17:22'
"2007-09-28 17:22"

I understand that you support the "american" way of writing dates, even though it is not a recognized standard by either ANSI (American National Standards Institute) or ISO (International Standards Organization). On the other hand to not support the formats which are recognized and established by ANSI/ISO, and incedentally the ones used throughout most of the rest of the world, leaves me puzzled and scratching my head when I try to manually type in date related searches.

Does anyone know of a way around this ?

Cheers,

RioGD

It's possible to write a zimlet to directly target the European time formats. Outside of that, you probably want to write a RFE in bugzilla, if you don't want to code it.
