Type in one or more words (or word fragments) to search for:

This is a case-insensitive “all words as substrings” search; words are separated by spaces. By default, the following fields are relevant: Summary, Keywords, Product, Component, Status Whiteboard. If a word looks like a part of a URL, that field is included in the search, too.

The generic format for a “word” is field1,…,fieldN:value1,…,valueM. A bug qualifies if at least one of the values occurs as a substring in at least one of the fields. For example, assignee,reporter,qa:ibm,sun will give you bugs where the assignee, reporter, or qa contact has a login that contains ibm or sun. If only value1,…,valueM is given, the prefix (roughly) defaults to summary,keywords,product,component,statuswhiteboard: as noted above. You can use -word to express the logical negation of word.
