	| I was seeing some very odd search behavior, which caused most of my searches to return 0 results ("Nothing was found matching this profile").  The behavior was really confusing because some of the searches would return results the first time, but clicking "search" a second time and submitting the same search criteria would return no results. 
 By logging the SQL queries, I was able to determine that my problem is being caused by 2 date fields in this particular table which can be null.  Radicore is inventing search criteria from the date fields, even when I leave them blank.
 
 Note: The table I am working on here is called task, and is part of a project manager I am working on -- not the Radicore menu system.
 
 
 SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS task.*, 
  project.name as project_valrep, 
  parent_task.name as parent_task_name 
FROM task 
  LEFT JOIN project 
    ON (project.project_id=task.project_id) 
  LEFT JOIN task AS parent_task 
    ON (parent_task.task_id=task.parent_task_id) 
WHERE task.name LIKE 'fred%' 
  AND task.start_date<='2008-06-10 00:00:00' 
  AND task.end_date>='2008-06-10 23:59:59'    
LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0
 Start_date and end_date are my null-able fields.  At first I thought that Radicore was simply generating default conditions on the date fields, since both were null.  But what is really confusing to me is the fact that the 2 conditions are different
 
 
   AND task.start_date<='2008-06-10 00:00:00' 
  AND task.end_date>='2008-06-10 23:59:59'    
 Are task.start_date and task.end_date reserved in Radicore?  How can I prevent these conditions from being added to the search criteria?
