ID: 39705 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: codeslinger at compsalot dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: 1) In "Category" pick the category you picked for your bug report ("Website problem" NOT "Feature request") 2) In "Author email" type your email ("codeslinger@compsalot.com") 3) Hit the search button Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-01 16:21:21] codeslinger at compsalot dot com Description: ------------ I entered a Feature Request and did not make a note of the bug number. When I went to find this bug, I tried many different search criteria, but nothing that I tried, not content search, not author search, nothing at all would locate this bug for me. I finally found it by using my browser's history. The bug is http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39688 I challenge you to find it via the bug search function. There is something very broken about searching for bugs. Mostly it works, but apparently it has a blind spot for "Feature/Requests". And by the way, specifying "Irrelevant" for the Build number also does not work for "Feature/Requests", it gives an error saying it is not a valid choice. But "Irrelevant" did work for a normal bug, so there is something different/broken about the code path for "Feature/Requests". Reproduce code: --------------- try using this page to locate the bug. http://bugs.php.net/search.php Expected result: ---------------- For the bug to be findable, especially when one does an "Author email" search. Actual result: -------------- bug not found ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39705&edit=1
