338257 - relevance search missing extremely relevant bug, with summary match

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

Searching for GetNamespaceURI via the front page on b.m.o doesn't include https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337481 in its list, which is really rather unfortunate.

GetNamespaceURI appears in the summary, but the front-page search (and the "find a specific bug" search) only look for strings in the comments.  A boolean search that includes both summary and comments would work better.

  No, we include the summary in the fulltext search.

  This may actually be a MySQL bug that you're running into. It's possible that it doesn't consider nsNodeInfo::GetNamespaceURI as two separate words. Of course, I can't search effectively for that as one word, since I think *Bugzilla* splits it into two words when parsing it for the fulltext search.

(You don't think that bugzilla failing to return bugs with such words in the summary, for its recommended "relevance" search, is major?  OK!)

Seems to work now. Bug 337481 is returned.
