#39705 [Opn->Bgs]: Advanced Search fails to Find a Feature Request

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: This is expected behavior. When we search for bugs we expect to get a list of bugs, not feature requests. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-01 18:42:57] codeslinger at compsalot dot com Oops, sorry, Copy/Paste error on my part. The bug that I was trying to locate is indeed a Feature/Request. Here is the correct bug # http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39667 ------------------- I now see that by explictly selecting a category of "Feature/Request" in the "Return only bugs in categories" box then the bug does get found. But the reasonable expectation is that if no categories are explictly selected in this box then all bug categories should be found. And indeed, from a quick look, it does appear that all bugs EXCEPT for Feature/Requests are found when nothing else is selected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-01 16:40:13] bjori@php.net 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
