Description
When doing a document search the date format is inconsistent from file to file.
e.g. May 9, 2014
5/9/14
There should be a global setting for date format.

I'm annoyed by the current behavior for years now :-) Would be nice to see this fixed, maybe with some hard boundaries per width.

Moving Tracker enhancement tickets out of R1 milestone -- Tracker's source code comes from BeOS R5, so it already has all the features it did on R5.

This issue was probably covered in ticket #11343, which was resolved with http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/commit/?id=0597752447e9bbad2e9953b874c29f7db6cba7bb. So, let's close it.

It will still use mismatched formats for some column widths, so no, this is not fixed. We just have 5 formats to chose from instead of 6.
The reason for that is fairly simple, it tries to use the most expressive format it can for the given date that will fit within the column width. If you expand the column wide enough, they will all wind up being in the same format. The only alternative would be to either truncate all of them to the shortest format, or to wind up with part of the date obscured by a ... in order to fit, which would not really be preferable.
