Dynamically reload graph when narrowing absolute date range on the histogram #811

Proposal for usability / UI improvement

In the result histogram graph, you can drag your mouse over a given timeframe (which produces an overlay on the graph for the selected area).

When the mouse up event is fired, the date range in the form fields update and the fields "bounce" to bring your attention to them. However, this was overlooked by a few of the devs here and we thought it was a bug that the histogram didn't dynamically update (opening DevTools to check!). Our expectation was that the graph would update to the narrowed selection without having to click on the search button.

Thank you for the feedback!

We should make this behavior more obvious, by either allowing a modifier key to execute the search right away (like in other parts of the interface) and/or by showing a larger notification that the user needs to take action.
