JQL: Why does out of bounds created date search not throw an error?

[Raj Vora]

Searching for issues based on the created date field while using the "between" or "in range" qualifiers, does not display an error (which I would think it should) in the "results view" when the:

a.  Specified 'After' field is later than the 'Before' field ("between" qualifier)

b.  Specified 'From' field is later than the 'To' field ("In range" qualifier)

All that is displayed is:

"No issues were found to match your search

Try modifying your search criteria or creating a new issue."

Note: A "!" is displayed when attempting this out of bound search in the Basic search but not in the Advanced search.

I suspect it's because the clauses are evaluated independently, it's not looking at the to/from together.  (In range is translated to two independent clauses, a before and after)
