Search Result Fixes: Highlighting on Boolean Queries, and No More Jan 01 1970 Dates

· Search · Bug Fix · All updates

Two fixes to how search results are rendered: highlighting now covers every field on complex queries, and documents with no real date no longer display one.

01 Highlighting on boolean queries

When a query contained boolean operators such as AND or OR, only the full-text body was highlighted. Titles and short descriptions were left plain, which made a matching result look like a non-matching one at a glance. Highlighting now works consistently across all result fields, however complex the query is.

Before

On a query with AND or OR, only the body was highlighted; title and description stayed plain.

After

All result fields are highlighted, regardless of query complexity.

02 No date rather than a wrong date

A document with no real creation date was shown with a date of Jan 01 1970 — the epoch, rendered as if it were a fact about the document. The date badge is now hidden entirely when no valid date is available.

An absent badge is honest; a 1970 badge is a claim about the document that was never true.
