Attachment: screenshot

Firefox 6.0

steps to reproduce:
1. Load https://addons.allizom.org/z/en-US/firefox/search/es?q=Entwickler-Kommentare 
2. From 'Refine results' select 'Compatible with' to be 6.0
3. Notice the filtered search results.


expected behavior:
Only add-ons which are compatible with 6.0 are listed in the search results.

actual behavior:
'Wordpress Helper' which is not compatible with 6.0 is still listed in the search results

Wouldn't that be nice.

The problem: to find something compatible with 6.0 we need to look for a version with appsupport.min <= 6.0 <= appsupport.max. But if we really use 6.0 then version with appsupport.max = 6.0a1 are never found because 6.0a1 < 6.0. If we wanted to show 6.0a1 in the sidebar then this would be possible.

=> wontfix because the magic only-show-compatible fix will take care of this, somehow.

This is supported in zamboni. Try https://addons.allizom.org/en-us/firefox/search/?lver=6.0&q=fire&y=0&x=0&cat=all in firefox 6.0

We should try to support all the useful features which supported in zamboni.

No it's not. Here is sphinx filtering to 6.0 and showing Wordpress Helper, which is only compatible up to 6.0a1:
