282730 - search on non-sequential bug numbers not possible in bugzilla

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Alan Mendonca]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Bugzilla version 2.14.1 

I have to check the status on about 40 bugs.  These are non-sequential and 
span several different products in our suite.  I want to be able to put these 
numbers in the 'bugs numbered' text box, separate them by spaces or commas and 
have the data returned to me in a list, just as one would obtain by querying 
for (e.g.) open bugs under a certain product.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a selection of existing bug numbers (obtained from emails sent to you)
e.g 3046
3120
3295
3448
3449
3690
3687
3764
3769

2. try to enter these in the bugs numbered text box (use separate by space, 
separate by commas methods in turn)
3. submit query.

Actual Results:  
answer returned is 'zarro boogs' found


Expected Results:  
given me a list of hyperlinked bug numbers with columns summarizing the bug

This should be a good RFE
We should be able to include criteria like 
1,3,5, 13-20, 20000-
in the searches

Here is an example on how to do that manually:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=257347,276230,225687,257350,257351

There is already a bug about that. Marking this one as a dupe.

I don't think that this *is* a dupe... I think it's a WORKSFORME. The key 
phrase here is *non-sequential*, whereas bug 147055 is requesting an 
enhancement to allow searching on *sequential* bug lists.

Alan, I am able to obtain the behaviour you are looking for on bmo (2.19.1+), 
and locally on a 2.18 and a 2.16.7 installation. You simply deselect all items 
in all checkboxes and picklists, and enter the comma-separated list into 
the 'bugs numbered ______________' box, then search. It should return a regular 
buglist with those bugs displayed in it. You can then alter the columns to 
display what you need, just as you would with a normal buglist.
