state:open criteria not working

state:open criteria does not return any result. However, "not-state:closed" returns the proper results. As far as I know, both should return same results.

   This was a huge point of confusion for new folks. They'd have to do weird queries like state:open not-state:new to get just open tickets, for instance. Try using state:open!

   OK. So just to be clear, state:open will only show tickets that are in specific state called "open" and state:open! will show tickets that are states that would be considered open?

   If yes, do I need to update all of my search bins to start using "state:open!" instead of "state:open"?

   Yes, state:{whatever} only shows that state, the exclamation makes it special. Sorry for the sudden change, I didn't mean to deploy this until I had the blog post ready, the FAQ updated, and all the ticket bins changed over. I can change them all for you right now.

   Hi Rick,

   Thanks for the update. I just wanted to make two small suggestions/observations:

   1. I am sure this is already in your radar, but you should also update the provided default drop-down search for "Open Tickets" to use the new syntax.
   2. At present, it seems that state:closed is a spacial case as well. In my opinion, you should make it consistent and have it only return tickets with state 'closed'.

   Thanks for the heads up! Indeed the change was a premature deploy on our part and there are items in Lighthouse that will have to be tweaked now. We hope to get this all corrected tonight.

   can you fix my bins as well? there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it (is there?)

   That's odd, I thought I fixed them yesterday. I re-ran my script from yesterday and it looks like it works:

   >> a.name
   => "upstream"
   >> puts a.ticket_bins(:reload).map(&:query)
   state:open!
   state:open!
   responsible:me state:open!
   responsible:me state:open!
   tagged:urgent state:open!
   tagged:urgent state:open! responsible:me
   responsible:me state:open!
   state:for_review
   state:ready_to_deploy

    We're actually reverting back to the original state:open search criteria and removing state:open! for the time being. It was not an intended deployment on our part and is causing a number of issues with other users. We apologize for the inconvenience.
