I've noticed a "quirk" with a couple of recent timetable searches I have performed - flights are returned whose dates of applicability are outside the date range I have specified.

An example:
Searching for the timetable for DOH-NBO on 25/01/2016 with the "Search up to 7 days from this date" ticked

The results returned are (scroll right to see highlighted dates that are outside my specified date range):

Not too difficult to cope with in the example, but for another search I did (SYD-LAX on the same date) the returned results are daunting, even when filtered to just show the QF flights (16 of the 18 rows are outside the specified date range!).

Note that unticking the "Search up to 7 days from this date" returns results that are in range.
