search: fix server-side date behaviour

OffsetMinutesFromUTC was being passed incorrectly by the web app
(getTimezoneOffset if UTC - Timezone, we wanted Timezone - UTC), now
fixed. This value is now used if given in comparisons. Times are
truncated to minute-deep precision, and Any date comparison ignores
empty date fields (i.e. a unix timestamp being 0 or a time.Time.IsZero()
== true).
