Andreas has asked me to review the documentation for http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/quicksearch.html and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/quicksearchhack.html I'll make some comments, and potentially add a patch, then hand this bug back to Andreas to finalize and check in the documentation changes. Comment from Jesse Ruderman in bug 76073: > Btw, the documentation gives an example of "+brow does not find all bugs in > the Browser product". This is confusing, because the example says what > doesn't happen without saying what does happen. I think the example should be > replaced with 'For example, use "+news" to find bugs with "news" in the > summary without also finding all bugs in the MailNews product'.) ...makes sense to me. Off the top, the biggest improvement to the documentation from the point of view of getting users knowledgable about what they can do, and how to do it, would be to provide some examples of searches that use more than bare word(stem)s. Comparing examples with reference material makes for faster learning than working from only examples or only reference material. Andreas, perhaps you could copy a few moderately complex searches that you use here, to begin building a bank of examples.

The User Interface component now belongs to Gerv. Reassigning all UNCONFIRMED and NEW (but not ASSIGNED) bugs currently owned by Myk (the previous component owner) to Gerv.

Reassigning back to Myk. That stuff about Gerv taking over the User Interface component turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.

Hmm, not really a bug, but a note about a review that apparently never happened. If there's a specific issue with the QuickSearch documentation that needs correcting, then reopen and change the summary to reflect that.
