When I go into Web Client to build a search syntax, I add the criteria to the search via the Advanced search in the web client, but after hitting search it doesn’t retain the search criteria when it displays the results.  Am I missing something here? I was able to recreate this problem with a customer as well. 

You can recreate this problem using the following steps:

1. Do advanced search in web client

2. Select a template field that allows you to pick a date

3. Choose "in the past"  and pick any number (I chose last 7 days)

4. Hit search

5. scroll down and you will see it did not save my search criteria
