Advanced Search

Getting Started

• This is case-insensitive search.
  •  table ,  Table  and  TABLE  are all the same.
• This is all words as substrings search.
  Therefore you should use stems to get better results:
  • Use localiz instead of localize or localization.
  • Use bookmark instead of bookmarks or bookmarking.

• Boolean operations: "-foo" (NOT), "foo bar" (AND), "foo|bar" (OR).
  • NOT: Use  -foo  to exclude bugs with  foo  in the summary.
  • AND: Space-separated words are treated as a conjunction.
  • OR: Within a word, "|"-separated parts denote alternatives.
  • Besides "|", a comma can be used to separate alternatives.
  • OR has higher precedence than AND; AND is the top level operation
  
  Example:  url,location bar,field -focus  means (url OR location) AND (bar OR field) AND (NOT focus)


• Use  +foo  to search for bugs where the summary contains  foo  as a substring.
  Use  #foo  to search for bugs where the summary contains the word  foo 
  •  +brow  does not find all bugs in the  Browser  product
  •  #title  does not find bugs bugs with  titlebar  or  titled 
  Phrases with special chars (space, comma, +, -, #, ...) can be quoted:
  •  "lock icon" 


• Open vs. Resolved Bugs:
  By default, only open (i.e. unresolved) bugs are shown. Use  +DUP  as first word in your query to include duplicate bugs in your search,  FIXED  to search for fixed bugs only, or  ALL  to search all bugs, regardless of status or resolution. Searching for duplicates is recommended if you can't find an open bug directly.
  •  +DUP,FIXED table border 
  •  ALL mouse wheel 


• Focus the Search with Products & Components:
  To search for bugs in product "Foo Bar" only, add  :foo  or  :bar  or both to your query. You can do this with any substring of a product or component to focus the search.

More Tips

• You can also use this tool to lookup a bug by its number.
  •  12345 
• A comma-separated list of bug numbers gives you a list of these bugs.
  •  12345,23456,34567 

By default, the following fields are searched: Summary, Keywords, Product, Component, Status Whiteboard. If a word looks like a part of a URL, that field is included in the search, too.
