Thanks for the bisection!
The problematic commit tried to fix false positive matches of the
regexp. I overdid it.

Fixed on bugfix now.

Thanks for reporting.  I had noticed one of my "" queries had
stopped working but hadn't yet got around to bisecting.  Doing so now,
this looks like a regression from e022a0cea (org-make-tags-matcher: Do
not treat PROPERTY="[X]" as timestamp match, 2022-10-25).

Ihor, I haven't reviewed the linked discussion in that commit, but with
its change (shown below), the regex now longer matches things like
"" and "".

[BUG] Org 9.6 Inactive timestamp search no longer works as expected.

[Carlo Tambuatco]

Simple inactive timestamp search for recent completed tasks used to return as 
expected. ie:

+TIMESTAMP_IA>=“”+TIMESTAMP_IA<“” 

would return all tasks that I completed today. (Had an inactive timestamp 
greater than or equal 
to 12:00 am of the current day, but less than tomorrow)

Now it returns nothing.

Running just +TIMESTAMP_IA>=“” gives me a bunch of tasks with timestamps 
less than today. Pretty much every timestamp that is less than today, which is 
huge.

Pretty much the opposite of what you would expect it to return.


Am reverting back to Org 9.5.5 until this issue is resolved.
