Summary of the pull request
This fixes an elusive search sort bug where over time the Issues widget when used with a Search query becomes corrupted and the search results go out of order.

Closes #278
Detailed description of the pull request / Additional comments
This bug originates in the parameter of the pruning method. The parameter for pruning the outdated search results was incorrectly specified (missing 1 character). This resulted in the actual query command once substituted to never match any records. Since nothing was ever removed when updating search results, the timestamp-based search result ordering was showing out of order.
Also fixed a horribly written comment.
