Setting a date range as a default for Search Pages [#2335731]

What would be the best way to set a certain date range as the default for a search page?

I created an event listing and only want to show items which have a date set in the future. Using the latest beta it works great on the facets but I do wonder how do I set a defined set as the default in the Solr search page backend? My field is called field_date so I tried setting the query filter to the string from the url:

bundle:event, dm_field_date:next_30_days

(I defined next_30_days to show events from today + 30 days in the facet configuration)

Then I tried

bundle:event, dm_field_date:[NOW TO *]

and that worked. I just wonder if it is supposed to be that we can not use the machine names as custom filters?

The easiest way to set certain date rage by default is use hook_search_api_query_alter(). You should use special syntax like this dm_field_date:[NOW TO *] to define intervals in this hook.
