Is this documented anywhere? I'm not finding anything...

If I have the following defined for an eprint dataObject:

          {
              'name' => 'broker',
              'type' => 'compound',
              'multiple' => 1,
              'fields' => [
                    { sub_name => 'orgid',    'type' => 'text' },
                    { sub_name => 'orgname',  'type' => 'text' },
                    { sub_name => 'repoid',   'type' => 'text' },
                    { sub_name => 'reponame', 'type' => 'text' },
                    { sub_name => 'sword',    'type' => 'boolean' },
                    { sub_name => 'sent',     'type' => 'time', },
                    { sub_name => 'return',   'type' => 'url' },
                    { sub_name => 'live',     'type' => 'time', },
                    { sub_name => 'target',   'type' => 'url' },
                    { sub_name => 'note',     'type' => 'text' },
                    { sub_name => 'archiver', 'type' => 'boolean' },
                          ],
            },

I should be able to create a search thus:

    my $dso = $session->get_repository->get_dataset("archive");
    my $searchexp1 = EPrints::Search->new(
      satisfy_all => 1,
      session     => $session,
      dataset     => $dso,
    );
    $searchexp1->add_field( $dso->get_field("broker_sword"), 'TRUE' );
    $searchexp1->add_field( $dso->get_field("broker_sent"),  '2000-' );
    $searchexp1->add_field( $dso->get_field("broker_live"),  '' );
    my $results1 = $searchexp1->perform_search;

As I understand it, this should list only those records where one or
more of the broker elements has the sub_field "sword" set true, and the
sub_field "sent" defined and after the year 2000, and the sub_field
"live" is empty
.... unfortunately, I'm getting records where sub_field "sword" is true,
but none of the broker elements have a "sent" sub_field

Is there anything out there?



To help debug,
print $searchexp1->get_conditions->describe;

To see what you're getting.

On more recent versions you can use '..' as the range selector, in case
it's a problem with understanding '-' with just a year (or maybe
"2000-01-01-" ?).


Yep - turns out to need
$searchexp1->add_field( $dso->get_field("broker_sent"), '2000-01-01-3000-12-31'); 

So I'm now getting a described query of:
AND(
  =($archive.eprint_status,"archive") ... eprint,
  =($archive.broker_sword,"TRUE") ... eprint_broker_sword,
  AndSubQuery(
       >=($archive.broker_sent,"2000-01-01") ... eprint_broker_sent,
       <=($archive.broker_sent,"3000-12-31") ... eprint_broker_sent
  )
)
.... however it seems the "AndSubQuery" is not a proper AND, more a PLUS - this is a returned list of broker sub-fields.... and you'll note none of them have a 'sent' field between the dates in the query: 
 'broker' => [
              {
