[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bug in PUI search filtering?

[Michelle Paquette]

Hi Anna,

I'm wondering if something is happening to the default AND boolean - if you
search fashion OR designers in the first place you're getting 5998 results,
so it seems when you remove the date filter it switches from an AND to an
OR search.
