83052 - "Bugzilla" search option does not work well

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

When you select: "Bugzilla @ mozilla.org" (why are there spaces?)

The search tab seems to basically search for open bugs by assigned.

Probably a more liberal search, like what is used on the bugzilla.mozilla.org
homepage is needed.

asa,

Would mozilla rather have the search be by name or by summery?
I'll change it accordingly.

matt, the quicksearch on the front page at b.m.o does this query 

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&field0-0-0=product&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=xxxx&field0-0-1=component&type0-0-1=substring&value0-0-1=xxxx&field0-0-2=short_desc&type0-0-2=substring&value0-0-2=xxxx&field0-0-3=status_whiteboard&type0-0-3=substring&value0-0-3=xxxx

where the xxxx is the string I entered in the search. It would be very cool if
this sidebar search could do the same (or a similar) thing.

nav triage team:

Not a mozilla0.9.4 stopper, marking p3 and mozilla1.0.1, but if you get a fix in
earlier.... ;-)

This seems like it would be a simple fix with just a few changes to the
bugzilla.src file. Is this true? or would something have to be done on the
server end?

Comment 6

[Mike Young]

Well, i've answered my own question. Attached is a new bugzilla.src file. I
can't make diffs since I don't have a build system, but basically the only
things changed are the email lines are removed and replaced with the fields used
in Asa's query. 

I used all words as substrings instead of straight substrings so people can type
in multiple words. It is still "all words" though and not "any words" like the
bugzilla front page. 

I also didn't know whether we could use javascript. (Is there a doc writeup on
the format for search engines?) So if you type in a bug number it doesn't go
there directly, and there is also no way that I can tell to allow the user to
change the settings from "all" to "any" or any of the other slew of settings
available to us.

Its a start though

[matt]

Thanks
We can't use js so we can't do a find by bug number and search terms.

Comment 8

[Mike Young]

would it be possible to get this checked in? It fixes the main problem with the
bugzilla sidebar, and would definately be a good temporary fix....
