    36 You can safely edit any of the tickets and continue to navigate through the results using the ''!Next/Previous/Back to Query'' links after saving your results. When you return to the query ''any tickets which were edited'' will be displayed with italicized text. If one of the tickets was edited such that [[html(<span style="color: grey">it no longer matches the query criteria </span>)]], the text will also be greyed. If '''a new ticket matching the query criteria has been created''', it will be shown in bold.

    6767== Query Language
    6868
    69 The `query:` TracLinks and the [TicketQuery "[[TicketQuery]]"] macro both use a mini “query language” for specifying query filters. Filters are separated by ampersands (`&`). Each filter consists of the ticket field name, an operator and one or more values. Multiple values are separated using a pipe (`|`), meaning the filter matches any of the values. To include a literal `&` or `|` in a value, escape the character with a backslash (`\`).
     69The `query:` TracLinks and the [TicketQuery "[[TicketQuery]]"] macro both use a mini “query language” for specifying query filters. Filters are separated by ampersands (`&`), the `[[TicketQuery]]` macro additionally also accepts commas (`,`). Each filter consists of the ticket field name, an operator and one or more values. Multiple values are separated using a pipe (`|`), meaning the filter matches any of the values. To include a literal `&` or `|` in a value, escape the character with a backslash (`\`).

    7171The available operators are:
    … …  
    8181|| '''`!$=`''' || the field content does not end with any of the values ||
    8282
    83 Filters combining matches and negated matches can be constructed for text fields such as Keywords and CC using the //contains// (`~=`) operator. The `-` operator is used to negate a match and double quotes (//since 1.2.1//) are used for whitespace-separated words in a phrase. For example, `keywords~=word1 word2 -word3 "word4 word5"` matches tickets containing `word1` and `word2`, not `word3` and also `word4 word5`.

     84The `!` operator is used to negate a match.
     85
     86Note that for `query:` the match operator `=` needs to be on first position when combined with other operators, for example `=!` or `=~`. The `[[TicketQuery]]` macro on the other side accepts both syntax variants, for example `!=` or `~=` as well as `=!` or `=~`.

     88Double quotes (//since Trac 1.2.1//) are used for whitespace-separated words in a phrase. For example, `keywords~=word1 word2 -word3 "word4 word5"` matches tickets containing `word1` and `word2`, not `word3` and also `word4 word5`.

    8490|| '''`status=closed,keywords~=firefox`''' || query closed tickets that contain keyword `firefox` ||
    8591|| '''`status=closed,keywords~=opera`''' || query closed tickets that contain keyword `opera` ||

    9096|| '''`status=closed,keywords~=opera -firefox`''' || query closed tickets that contain keyword `opera`, but no `firefox` ||

    92 The date fields `created` and `modified` can be constrained by using the `=` operator and specifying a value containing two dates separated by two dots (`..`). Either end of the date range can be left empty, meaning that the corresponding end of the range is open. The date parser understands a few natural date specifications like "3 weeks ago", "last month" and "now", as well as Bugzilla-style date specifications like "1d", "2w", "3m" or "4y" for 1 day, 2 weeks, 3 months and 4 years, respectively. Spaces in date specifications can be omitted to avoid having to quote the query string.
    93 || '''`created=2007-01-01..2008-01-01`''' || query tickets created in 2007 ||
     98The date fields `created` and `modified` and custom fields of type `time` can be constrained by using the `=` operator and specifying a value containing two dates separated by two dots (`..`). Either end of the date range can be left empty, meaning that the corresponding end of the range is open. The date parser understands a few natural date specifications like "3 weeks ago", "last month" and "now", as well as Bugzilla-style date specifications like "1d", "2w", "3m" or "4y" for 1 day, 2 weeks, 3 months and 4 years, respectively. Spaces in date specifications can be omitted to avoid having to quote the query string.
     99|| '''`created=2017-01-01..2018-01-01`''' || query tickets created in 2017 ||
    94100|| '''`created=lastmonth..thismonth`''' || query tickets created during the previous month ||
    95101|| '''`modified=1weekago..`''' || query tickets that have been modified in the last week ||
