Oops, sorry, that should be bug 65931 "Improve Bugzilla query forms".

Another thing that could help is a "bug type" classification (bug 65965).

cc'ing the master of bugzilla queries. Wanna look at the dependency tree?
I know this is a meta bug, but I thought you guys might know if there was an existing bug that covered this issue. If not, I can create it... uh... in Jan as I'm about to go on vacation for a while. I set my mozilla keywords to google and my mozilla search to bugzilla so that I could readily search for existing bugs. However, the bugzilla search in mozilla doesn't do as useful a query as it could. I consistently get better results using the website rather than the bugzilla search via my location bar. Could the query be changed? Current location bar query of bugzilla: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=_________________________&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&bugidtype=include&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time Now go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and search and you'll get this query: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&field0-0-0=product&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=_________________&field0-0-1=component&type0-0-1=substring&value0-0-1=_________________&field0-0-2=short_desc&type0-0-2=substring&value0-0-2=_________________&field0-0-3=status_whiteboard&type0-0-3=substring&value0-0-3=_________________ Note the major differences: location bar searches for an email. bugzilla searches for substring value in a variety of fields Ideally, this would be implemented by first changing Bugzilla to support something like this: http://bugzilla.mozilla.com/buglist.cgi?quick_search=foo The Quick Search would then look in all the appropriate fields. Then Mozilla would be changed to use that sort of query for bugzilla searches. If folks decided later that some different behavior would help folks find bugs quicker, then they could change things on the bugzilla end and the change would automatically propogate to all mozilla users with recent mozilla apps. They wouldn't have to download something new everytime folks found a better way to search for bugs. Like I said, going on vacation until 2nd week of Jan (in a few hours), so if this needs to be made into two new bugs, I can do it when I get back, or if someone beats me to it, just say so here and I'll not do it. -matt

At the moment, this is a metabug. It's kinda pointless to have it assigned to anyone.

Isn't this bug and bug 22353 really about the same missing functionality?

I don't think this bug has further value, in that if we ever discuss this issue again, we aren't going to start from here. If you disagree, please reopen it. Gerv
