38487 - boolean chart: split comparison type from what happened

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Currently, the second dropdown in the boolean chart tries to be both a "what 
happened" and a "comparison type," limiting the number of things you can do 
with it.  For example, I can't do "changed to something that matches this 
regexp."  

Current options:

equal to
not equal to
contains (case-sensitive) substring
contains (case-insensitive) substring
does not contain (case-insensitive) substring
contains regexp
does not contain regexp
less than
greater than
any words
all words
none of the words
changed before
changed after
changed to
changed by

I suggest that this be changed to a "what happened" dropdown and a "comparison 
type" dropdown.

What happened:

currently
originally*
changed before
changed after
changed to
changed from*
changed by

Comparison type:

equal to (case-insensitive)*
not equal to (case-insensitive)*
contains (case-sensitive) substring
contains (case-insensitive) substring
does not contain (case-insensitive) substring
contains regexp
does not contain regexp
less than / before*
greater than / after*
any words (sep by spaces)*
all words
none of the words

(Asterisk means I added or modified this option instead of copying it strait 
from the current options)

The combinations of verb tenses could probably make a little more sense, but 
they don't make perfect sense right now anyway.

Oops, misspelled "straight" as "strait".

Historical queries could be a real problem.  See also bug #75396.
