Bug 1635331

Description of problem:

1. When trying to list the hosts which are not part of a host collection "hc1" using a search query with operator "not equal to", it provides the name of the host which are part of "hc1" if the hosts are also part of another host collection i.e. "hc2".

2. Search query to resolve the host while scheduling a remote execution job is also not able to list the host when operator "not equal to" is used for host collection.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Red Hat Satellite 6.3


How reproducible: Everytime


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two host group named "hc1" and "hc2" on the Satellite Server.

2. Add two content host "host1.example.com" and "host2.example.com" to the host collection "hc1" and "host2.example.com" and "host3.example.com" to host collection "hc2".

3. Execute a search query on the Satellite Web UI >> Hosts >> All Hosts >> Search using search query " host_collection  !=  hc1 ".

Actual results: It results with the name of below mentioned hosts:

"host2.example.com"
"host3.example.com"


Expected results: It should provide the name of only one host i.e.

"host3.example.com"


Additional info:

It seems that when we execute a search using operator "not equal to" for a host collection, it looks for the host list all the host collections without comparing it to the list of hosts in the host collection mentioned in search query. Hence also provides us with the list of hosts which are already existing in the host collection.
