I just got hit by this on: [Searching with quoted term doesn't highlight the whole term](https://meta.discourse.org/t/searching-with-quoted-term-doesnt-highlight-the-whole-term/31954)

`Aug 11` reads to me as “August 2011”, I think we should just at least swap stuff around for dates… `11 Aug` is just so much less ambiguous and a trivial change.

Should I go ahead and do that?
