Bug #18811
closed
Searching for future dates by day is not relative to today
Description
Today is: 2017-03-06 (day 65)
Database record is: 2017-06-19 (day 170)
Search success: expires < "172 days"
Search zero results: expires < "171 days"
Search zero results: expires < "Today + 175 days"
As a user, my expectation is that date searches are relative to today. Trying "Today +" syntax also yields zero results.

can you provide more examples on how you want to use it? I wonder if there are easy workarounds to your issue.

The use case is to search for subscriptions expiring in less than 30 days, as an example.
Time is normally thought of as relative to now. So when I say, "Expiring in less than 30 days" that implies a search for objects with an expiration falling within the window of now to now+30days. When I say, "Expired within the last 30 days" that implies an expiration falling within now to now-30days.
