-===== Introduction =====
-The codebase for filter api is overly complicated and confusing both from a users perspective and a developers perspective.  A class based filter api would:
-   * Simplify the codebase
-   * Increase maintainability
-   * Enable greater filter customization
-   * Allow a simpler user interface
-===== Implementation Notes =====
-   * The default simple filter would be a Google-like single textbox.
-     * It __may__ include a select list of fields to search.
-     * Alternatively, administrators __may__ be able to choose lists of fields to search/display for simple/advanced filters
-     * The current search field searches the summary, description, steps to reproduce, additional information, issue bugnotes, bug id, and bugnote id fields.
-     * The new search may include those fields as well as text based custom fields, tags, and in the future, expand to other fields.
-   * Simple stored queries would be converted to advanced queries
-   * hide status would be removed in favour of explicit show status in advanced query
-   * Advanced filter would look similar to the current advanced filter with multi select fields
