Hey Lucian, you need to have d/m/y – currently only a datepicker format is supported, you have a few options for displaying the dates though such as:

YYYY/MM/DD
DD/MM/YYYY
MM/DD/YYYY

Re the search terms, the plugin does not that that unfortunately, I’m not sure if this is a feature I would include, but you could use this plugin with another plugin such as Relevanssi which supports this to get the desired effect 🙂

Thanks
