947425 - Default supersearch should not include a date field

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task, P3)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

When you click the initial search link, it is pre-populated with a "date" "<=" "the hour before now". However, as I understand it there is a default date range for searches over the last week.

When pasting links into bugzilla, we typically want them to be "dateless" links, so that people clicking them get the last week's worth of data rather than whenever the link was pasted. To make that easier, I think we should start out the search form without the pre-populated date field, *or* make it a relative time field of some sort e.g. "date" ">=" "one week ago"

As a FYI, the default date field was put here for two reasons: convenience for users (but it turns out it's not that convenient :) ) and small performance improvements in the back-end. 

Removing it is really simple. Changing its default to be a range is not. I will thus go with the former solution for now.
