Description Johannes Truschnigg 2011-02-08 19:09:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
When searching for a (sub)string contained in a package's name by means of the HTML form on the top right of http://koji.fedoraproject.org/, it should be made clear to the user that this kind of search won't show any but exact matches.


How reproducible:
Whenever searching for a substring, instead of a package's complete name, on the aforementioned website.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://koji.fedoraproject.org/
2. Feed a search term contained in your favourite package's name into the form
3. Perform the search
  
Actual results:
(Premise: Searching for the string "intel", without quotes)
The results page displays 'Search Results for packages matching "intel"', and "No search results" after that.


Expected results:
The system should at the very least make it clear that it was searching for exact matches only, and that wildcards ("*") are expected and can/should be used to do a somewhat more fuzzy kind of search. It might be worthwhile automatically initiating a search for "*intel*" if the application determined that there were no results found, and indicating that the scope of the search was therefore widened.
Comment 1 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-01-31 12:01:13 UTC 
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 14:30:18 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
