Ignore invalid criteria in SearchBuilder server-side processing #1114

Closed mikmart closed 5 months ago

mikmart commented 5 months ago

Follow-up to #1113.

Sometimes the client will send SearchBuilder queries that contain incomplete or invalid search criteria. For example, when the user changes the data that an existing criteria applies to, a search will be sent to the server with the condition component missing. In client-side processing, such invalid criteria are ignored.

This PR aligns server-side processing with the client-side implementation, by returning NULL to signal that a condition is invalid and should be ignored or that the search contains no valid criteria.
