I am doing a search with:

product = mozilla.org
component = Security Assurance: Review Request
Match any of the following: "Due Date" "is empty"

This is supposed to return a couple dozen bugs but instead it returns zero. This behaviour changed with the last upgrade I think.

If I change to "Due Date" "is not empty" then I see all bugs including bugs that have an empty Due Date.
Assignee: nobody → glob
4.2's search coalesce's dates to an epoch date, instead of leaving them as null:

 (COALESCE(bugs.cf_due_date, '1970-01-01 00:00:00') IS NULL
  OR COALESCE(bugs.cf_due_date, '1970-01-01 00:00:00') = '')

in fact it looks like most null values are coalesced.
after walking through the code, only bug_id and dateatime custom fields require special handling, which greatly simplified this patch (you don't want to see some of my earlier revisions!).

Thanks for the quick response Byron.

How do these fixes usually get pushed to Bugzilla? What is the timeframe?

we push weekly, generally late wednesday/early thursday.
follow blog.glob.com.au (or planet.mozilla.org) if you want to keep abreast of the pushes :)
I am reopening this bug because I am seeing the exact same behaviour as described in the first comment again. Looks like a regression?

Is there a better way to filter on: "Due Date" "is empty" ?

we need to file a new bug for this -- when you reopen a bug which has been marked as fixed, it makes it very hard to track both changes (the fixes may be different, made by different people, etc).

i've filed bug 884345.
