I'm using the REST API with a one-shot search to pull back some previously summarized information. The summary indexing was done with EST timezone so the events show up as 00:00:00 EST. The server i'm doing the REST API call from is on CST timezone. When I get the results back from the search they show up as the previous day because the timestamp ends up being 1 hour before at 23:00:00 CST - 1Day. This is completely screwing up my search results. Is there a way to force the API call to use EST timezone instead of the system default?
Note:
Changing the timezone on my server is not an option because it's a shared server.

Change the Time zone setting ( My UserName -> Edit Account -> Time zone ) for the user running the search (REST API call) and set it to EST.

I tried this and it first it didn't work. I waited some more time though then restarted my webserver and cleared cache on my client and now its working. Thank you!

Can you elaborate what do you mean by clearing cache on the client?
I have the same problem, but not able to make it work with the same solution.
