Details

The "Search by People" section in query.cgi doesn't mention that you have to pass a login name (email address). Trying to pass a real name returns no results. This is confusing, because all other user fields using auto-completion are able to find the users based on their realname.
Hmm, yes, we should probably make that clear.
Severity: normal → minor
This is WFM against trunk, now "Search by People" section in query.cgi,user fields has auto-completion option.
I would like to prepare a patch for the same. Please assign me this bug.
Not sure if there's any need for this anymore, as per comment 2. 01tonythomas: What is your exact idea to "fix" this?
Yeah, I agree that this is no longer needed.
