I’m trying to format the date in my CMS Collection’s search results using the twig modifier:

{{ item.date|date(“d M Y”) }}

I have to admit this is all fairly new territory for me but I can’t seem to override the search result’s YYYY-MM-DD date format. Is it possible or am I missing something?

In the meantime I’m going to try using a fallback of adding **displayDate: “01 Jan 2026”** to the front matter but it feels like I’m missing a trick.
