205105 - unreliable results from query for strings in comments

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Dan M]

This query returns no hits (a closed bug I was cc:ed on and neil had commented on)

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=parkway&bug_status=RESOLVED&emailcc1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=danm%40netscape.com

while this one returns four (search for neil instead of parkway)

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=neil&bug_status=RESOLVED&emailcc1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=danm%40netscape.com

It seems to me that bug 195888, for instance, should have turned up both times.

Comment 1

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

None of the comments actually contain the string 'parkway'. the person who
didn't the commenting isn't included in the comment text itsself.

Comment 2

[Dan M]

Not to mention there's a (presumably) more efficient way to search for a
commenter, anyway. All four "neil" bugs mention neil in the comments. Pilot
error. Thanks, Bradley.
