Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

STR:

1) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi
2) Select "Simple Search" tab
3) Status: Open / Product: Thunderbird / Words: msgreadertracker (existing alias of an open bug in the Thunderbird product)
4) Search!

Actual result

- Zarro Boogs found.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Thunderbird&content=msgreadertracker

Expected result

- should find the bug with that very alias, and show it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=msgreadertracker
- i.e., show same result as we do for quicksearch:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=msgreadertracker

Simple Search, at the moment, is not a Quicksearch--it's just a content search. It's not intended to search aliases.

So this is either invalid or a duplicate of bug 490549.
