Description Ondřej Pražák 2016-08-22 09:32:36 UTC

According to #1332311, the report search ( last_report > "30 minutes ago" ) does not work as expected on Sat6 UI. However, the '>' operator means 'is later' so last report is later than 30 minutes ago. Changing the operator meaning for relative dates would not make it easier to understand. The behaviour is described in upstream manual: 

https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.12/index.html#4.1.5Searching

We should make note of this somewhere in our documentation as well.

Assigning to Lucie for review.

Lucie - this also affects BZ#1368983, and I will put some more detailed notes there about what we need.

Comment 2 Andrew Dahms 2017-02-08 23:56:27 UTC

Apologies, Lucie - the bug in question is actually BZ#1409800.

Comment 3 Lucie Jirakova 2017-05-26 13:37:47 UTC

This issue has been resolved within related bug 1409800: A new chapter on Searching and Bookmarking has been added, listing all operators including > and <, and explaining how these are interpreted when temporal values are used.

The new chapter in the Host Configuration Guide has just been published on Portal, and the description of operators can be found here:
