I am still seeing this problem, and have come across another clue. It
works fine if a relative endday, such as -1, is also passed. In reading
the bugs database closer, it also appears that bug 578570 may also be
related.
I have confirmed this bug by searching on the htdig site with the
following three GET strings sent via a telnet session - note how the final
two hit counts differ:
Search for 'startday', no date range (returns 50 hits)
---
GET /cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&words=startday HTTP/1.1
Host: www.htdig.org
Search for 'startday', set startday to -60 (returns 0 hits)
---
GET /cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&words=startday&startday=-60 HTTP/1.1
Host: www.htdig.org
Search for 'startday', set startday to -60 and endday to -1 (returns 1 hit)
---
GET /cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&words=startday&startday=-60&endday=-1 HTTP/1.1
Host: www.htdig.org
Unfortunately, my C++ coding is non-existent, but the line which seems to
me to be suspect is in Display.cc, line 1295-6:
else if (!reldate)
enddate.tm_year = endoftime->tm_year;
Could this somehow be getting set to the same year as the
startdate.tm_year?

Subject: [htdig] Bug in startday code, v. 3.1.6 (patched)
I believe that I have come across a bug in the startday code in version
3.1.6 (I have applied the metadate.0 patch and the timet_enddate.1 patch).
Briefly, using a negative number in the startday that overlaps a year
boundary (i.e. using a number greater than -7 today, 1/7/03) causes only
entries for the previous year to be displayed. Here is an example:
Here are the MATCHES and date entries for the same search:
Using a relative startday;
<input type="hidden" name="matches" value="12">
<input type="hidden" name="startday" value="-14">
<input type="hidden" name="startmonth" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="startyear" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="endday" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="endmonth" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="endyear" value="">
Using a specific startday,month,year,etc.
<input type="hidden" name="matches" value="25">
<input type="hidden" name="startday" value="23">
<input type="hidden" name="startmonth" value="12">
<input type="hidden" name="startyear" value="2002">
<input type="hidden" name="endday" value="7">
<input type="hidden" name="endmonth" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="endyear" value="2003">
The dates are obtained using a META tag entry in the HTML header.
Anyone else seeing this?
