I´ve thought I´ve found a new bug, because my search for "wallpaper" and
"background" each returned no matches to the bug, while the term "bgproperties"
returned "Zarro Boogs".
After I reported^the bug, it was marked as a dup.
The original bug-report (#7474 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7474 )
was not found by the search-engine (maybe because it was closed).
As it seems there was quite a number of similar reports, but because I could not
find any of them, I produced a dup accidently.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. search for bugs, using the keyword bgproperties
Actual Results:  
the rteurned search-result was "Zarro Boogs"

Expected Results:  
Shown the bug`s (dup´s don't have to be shown) that match the search even if
they are closed.
In this case the bug #7474 ( http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7474 )

You have to choose this option if you want it, but Bugzilla is quite capable of
searching closed bugs.  Choose the 'closed' option on the specific form, or
highlight the resolved, verified, and closed states on the advanced form.
