[gentoo-user] New bugzilla has broken search?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Either I'm doing something wrong, or the new bugzilla version at 
bugs.gentoo.org really sucks at searching. Let's for example go here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/query.cgi?format=specific

and select "All" for "Status". Then search for "kde-base/kdelibs". It 
takes a *lot* of time to complete, and worse, it returns a hell of a lot 
of results that have nothing whatsoever to do with the search query.

Did no one else notice?

You missed the select "All" for "Status" part.

I went to the link and just typed in "kdelibs".  They look relevant to 
me.  They all had kdelibs in it anyway.  I was to lazy to type in the 
rest since I also don't think it is needed.  I mean, kdelibs is unique, 
no other package has that name that I know of.  Maybe the "/" throws it 
off or something.

Maybe your bug search skills are like my google search skills.  lol  
Please take that as a joke.  :-)

I did select "all" and it seems to work fine with the way I searched.  
At the bottom of one huge list, it says this:

"3097 bugs found"

Looks like a lot to me.  If I don't do "all", it only finds 84.  Those 
would be open bugs since that is the default.

AFAIK, this is because the search defaults to not only query summaries
but also comments, so you get a lot of unrelated results. I think
there is a bug open about it. In the meantime you can use the advanced
search.
