 Description   
The Advanced Search code in web/services/Search/Advanced is hard-coded to look for the publishDate facet value for special date handling. This can cause problems if users choose a different field for use as a date range. We should investigate whether this can be made more generic, perhaps using the SpecialFacets/dateRange setting from facets.ini.

The hard coded references are actually in /interface/themes/blueprint/Search/advanced.tpl

We'll probably need to make some changes to both places -- the hard-coded field name in the module code is used for restoring settings when editing an existing advanced search.
