I have a search as follows

earliest="08/01/2016:00:00:01" latest="08/01/2016:23:59:59" getABCsWin("XYZ","abc12345678")

Now how can I add the time format string as mentioned below for all the searches contains unique search string "getABCsWin"

timeformat="%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S”

Is it something I need to add in macros.conf if yes. How can I add it?

You can edit the getABCsWin macro from the GUI. All (permissions) macros can be found at Settings > Advanced Search > Search macros.

so in search macros do I need click new and add the macro?
Can you explain a little detail? I would really appreciate your help?

It looks like the macro already exists. When you click on "Search Macros", it will list all the macros. Find the one called getABCsWin edit the definition & save.
