299491 - b.m.o frontpage search not working

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[tor]

The search field on the b.m.o frontpage does not return any results for either a
bug number or a text string.  Result is always "Zarro Boogs found."

It's a bug that it doesn't work with bug numbers - I've fixed that with my new
front page upload (bug 279823).

Bug numbers now work, but it still doesn't work as a quicksearch - always
returns "Zarro Boogs".

Comment 6

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

tor: it's not a QuickSearch any more, it's Myk's more Google-like "specific
search" - the same thing as the "Find A Specific Bug" tab on the search page. If
you find a search which returns results from there but not from the front page,
that's definitely a bug in the front page. Otherwise, it's a problem with the
specific search.

It's not returning the same results - "foreignobject" on the front page will
return zero bugs, while the same string on the "specific bug" search will ponder
for a minute or so before returning a list of 19 bugs.

I think the frontpage search should really still use QuickSearch, as the longer
search time needed for the "specific bug" search discourages bug finders from
taking a quick look at existing bugs, which will mean more duplicates filed.

The "find a specific bug" search wouldn't take so long if it weren't for the fix
for bug 251567, which significantly degraded query performance.  I filed bug
289207 on backing out that fix, and I've been waiting for Dave to review it for
months.  Dave, if you won't take it for Bugzilla generally, could you at least
back it out for b.m.o?

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Yeah, I was searching for that earlier this morning, and hadn't found it yet.  I
just backed it out on b.m.o about 15 minutes ago, but initial testing shows it
doesn't seem to have helped any (all of my specific queries are still completely
timing out).

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

The test search on bug 289207 takes about 10 seconds on b.m.o now.  Before it
was timing out.  What are your test searches?

[Marc Schumann [:Wurblzap]]

It seems to me the hidden value fields aren't set correctly; bug_status should
be "__open__" instead of "open", and product should be "" instead of "All".

Attachment: New front page template

How right the man is. Try this.

Dave: ping? Can we get the b.m.o. front page fixed using the attached one here?

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

What else did you change besides the form values?  The diff between the existing
one and this one is HUGE, even if I ignore whitespace changes.

Comment 16

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

nevermind, I diffed it against the one in default, and we have one in custom ;)

OK, it's deployed.

Comment 17

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

"foreignobject" now returns 20 bugs from the front page, and the same number
from "Find A Specific Bug".
