Search
------

RT-Ticket: 6568
Made a simple fix to Query Builder to prevent a crash in situations involving
the creation of AND/ORs with no children. A fix that treats the cause and not 
the symptom is planned.  Currently, it may sometimes do "unexpected things"
with your ADD, but it is at least in a state that the user can recover from.

Specifically, for Danial's it works as expected; for Tim's example, it gives an 
incorrect error message (in the context of the QB page, not a Mason crash thing)
but the select box is in a good state.

RT-Ticket: 6741   Sort order is now preserved for the "in memory" saved search, 
courtesy of Phil Homewood.

Added parentheses to the clauses select list, in Query Builder.

RT-Ticket: 6568   Added code to prune childless ANDs and ORs.  Also got rid 
of 'Clear'.

Added whitespace fixes for proper POD

Made search-by-any-customfield work

Uses the server-side function to lowercase values, if provided by the Handle.
Fix from Tom Yu.

RT-Ticket: 6899   RT makes sure limits based on a whole date aren't being 
pushed to another date if the time zone is east of GMT.  Problem found by 
Olivier Horec, patched by Ruslan Zakirov.
