301728 - Mozillas bugzilla has very bad front page search option

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 299491

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Petri T. Koistinen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi-FI; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi-FI; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-1)

On page https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ there is a "Find a bug:" box. It seems
that it only searches with bug number, not with words entered to the box. This
leads people like me to fill in duplicate bug reports as they can't find
anything in bug database. Please, make this search box also do text at least on
topic on bug reports. Another option is to change "Find a bug:" to "Find a
bugnumber:" or otherwise idicate that it will only search with bug number.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Zarro Boogs found.

Expected Results:  
Too many bugs found, so I could start narrowing down if something is really
reported or not.

I bet this bug is duplicate.

Hmmm... This works for me. Which search terms did you enter?

Try "CAcert" on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi (that is the page where you get when you
click Advanced Search on bugzilla frontpage).

You notice that search on frontpage finds nothing and only Advanced Search
produce in my opinion correct output.
