Description Ed Avis 2001-09-13 16:14:21 UTC

Description of Problem: Bugzilla search for 'com_err' returns lots of false
positives.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
whatever bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ is running


How Reproducible: go to query page and enter 'com_err' in Description
field, leave all other query narrowing things blank.


Actual Results: a big list of bugs is returned.  The first bug in the list
(673) is a correct match, it has occurrences of the string 'com_err', but
the second bug (1016) does not contain this string.


Expected Results: as a minimum I'd expect that searching for a string would
restrict the search results to pages containing that string.


Additional Information: speculation: maybe this is related to the
underscore in the search string.  Perhaps Bugzilla is splitting 'com_err'
into two words and matching them separately (in 'redhat.com' and 'errata'
perhaps).  That would not be sensible since underscore is usually
considered an honorary letter of the alphabet, something separated by
underscores should be treated as a single nondivisible word.

Seems to work correctly now.
