Interesting.  I just looked at Items I just imported and I did NOT specify what 
any of these 3 fields should be in dublin_core.xml – they all got set by DSpace 
(version 1.7.1).  It’s interesting that date.issued is the only one with a 
different format:
DC Field                                 Value                                  
     Language
dc.date.accessioned                2011-12-20T18:59:53Z           -
dc.date.available                     2011-12-20T18:59:53Z           -
dc.date.issued                         2011-12-20                              -

I wonder if maybe this is the problem….?

I believe I saw an issue like this a while back in 1.6.2, when issue date was 
missing the trailing ‘Z’.

My very wild guess would be that it's related to a value in date issued that 
breaks the creation of the index on this value.

That's a very good guess! I haven't yet gotten around to building a dspace with 
some more debugging around the search code to see what's actually happening, 
but this is very plausible.

Looking the our DB,  there were a few non-ISO format dates, and a couple nulls. 
I updates the bad format dates, removed the nulls, and reindexed, but search by 
date issued still doesn't work. Do all the dates need to be in a more specific 
format? (like full ISO: 2000-01-12T12:13:14Z).


Thanks,
