Severity: Medium

Same root pattern as the already-filed chart click-to-filter bug (#29), different feature/file. assets/js/advanced-search.js:

populateCurrentFilters() (~lines 60-76) only reads search and status back out of the current URL into the form.
performAdvancedSearch() (~lines 79-122) then builds a brand-new URLSearchParams() from just the form fields and navigates to it.

Impact: Any active filter not represented in the advanced-search form (e.g. a category/type/host filter applied via a dashboard quick-filter pill or stats-widget click) is neither shown in the modal nor preserved on submit — it's silently dropped from the URL.

Repro: Apply a category filter via a stats widget, open Advanced Search, set only a search term, submit → category filter is gone.

Fix: Merge the advanced-search form's fields into the current URLSearchParams (parsed from location.search) instead of constructing a fresh one — same fix approach as #29.

**Severity:** Medium Same root pattern as the already-filed chart click-to-filter bug (#29), different feature/file. `assets/js/advanced-search.js`: - `populateCurrentFilters()` (~lines 60-76) only reads `search` and `status` back out of the current URL into the form. - `performAdvancedSearch()` (~lines 79-122) then builds a **brand-new** `URLSearchParams()` from just the form fields and navigates to it. **Impact:** Any active filter not represented in the advanced-search form (e.g. a `category`/`type`/host filter applied via a dashboard quick-filter pill or stats-widget click) is neither shown in the modal nor preserved on submit — it's silently dropped from the URL. **Repro:** Apply a category filter via a stats widget, open Advanced Search, set only a search term, submit → category filter is gone. **Fix:** Merge the advanced-search form's fields into the *current* `URLSearchParams` (parsed from `location.search`) instead of constructing a fresh one — same fix approach as #29.

Merge development into main: search filter merge, workflow dup rejection, recurring-ticket loss alert, preview debounce (#58, #62, #88, #108)
