the dino has been chomping bugs for 40 minutes, for me. See URL field.
Wow, that's definitely odd. It probably is trying to grab the whole database somehow--this is another issue that bug 632717 will fix.
Depends on: 632717
But we should also address the fact that this malformed search was allowed through.
I've fixed the blocker, so by default Bugzilla can now only return 10,000 results, ever, for any search.

However, if you're searching for an exact value in a select field, and that value doesn't exist, we should probably throw an error, instead of risking running a search that will essentially have no criteria.
