(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7
Build Identifier: 

In Bugzilla/Search.pm, --- is converted to a null string.  This prevents users for searching for --- as a version.  This also blocks the ability to search for custom dropdown fields with the default value still set.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a version of --- (or create a custom field with type dropdown)
2. go to buglist.cgi?version=---&debug=1 or buglist.cgi?cf_fieldname=---&debug=1
3. view no results returned, and the debug SQL shows it quering for IN ('')
Actual Results:  
no results

Expected Results:  
list of bugs with the version or custom field set to ---

Bugzilla/Search.pm: (
         ",anyexact" => sub {
             my @list;
             foreach my $w (split(/,/, $v)) {
                 if ($w eq "---" && $f !~ /milestone/) {
                     $w = "";
                 }
                 $q = $dbh->quote($w);
                 trick_taint($q);
                 push(@list, $q);
             }

Delete this IF statement:
                 if ($w eq "---" && $f !~ /milestone/) {
                     $w = "";
                 }
