  * You must be on CiviCRM 5.47+ to have the "Use Smarty in Search Kit rewrites" feature.
  * Create a Search Display based on your search - e.g. **Add » Table** using the **Add** button in the left pane.
  * Find your date field and check the **Rewrite** box. You'll see a token that represents your date, e.g. `[receive_date]`.
  * Change the rewrite value to the following. Substitute your token for `[receive_date]` below.
  
  ```
  {"[receive_date]"|date_format:"%D"}
  
  ```
  
  A full list of date formatting options is available in the [Smarty date\_format documentation](https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.modifier.date.format.tpl).
