[opensuse] showing my Bugzilla comments
I'm looking at openSUSE Bugzilla, and as usual trying to navigate its bewildering interface and unnerving lexicon is having the effect of making me want to go and adopt the foetus position hiding inside a cave. At one point I clicked a link to 'Reports' and found myself inside a place called the Kitchen. I really don't want to discover the other labyrinthine quarters of this dungeon, I just want to perform one simple function: - show all the bugs I previously commented on or contributed to But this task seems to be too simplistic to be able to achieve here. I wanted to revisit a bug I commented on a week or so ago but I can only seem to pull up one or two bugs I created myself (and there's no trace of many others I've contributed to over the years). If I go into Search -> Advanced Search, search by People, select all types, i.e. Commenter, enter my username, I get a message 'Zarro Boogs found'. There's no known logical firing of neurones in my brain that can lead me to the holy grail here. Anybody can guide me? gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Something like "ALL commenter:someone@example.com" in the search box should work. The "ALL" is necessary if you also want to search bugs that have been marked as "resolved". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OK I tried that. The resulting message 'Please Stand By ' should probably have read 'Please Stand Back From the Platform, the Next Search is Not Scheduled to Stop at This Station'. But after a long wait, it did eventually pull up what at first glance looks like a reasonable set of bugs I've had something to do with. Thanks for the tip! Probably the wrong place to suggest this, but I think what Bugzilla needs is a massively simplified overlay for 'regular users', with an option to show the Advanced interface (which could be set as default in the user control panel). Although, perversely, that's adding even more complexity to something in order to make it more simplified. I wonder indeed if such a simplified interface and path for regular users to be able to follow to file bugs is really what developers want. Perhaps the complexity is designed to scare off thousands of ranty 'this doesn't work so fix it' contributions. But when clicking the Help link starts downloading a 40-page PDF, I think a website needs a rethink. In order to submit a request for a simplified overlay, I guess I'll have to use Bugzilla... :-/ gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, I've now saved the search so will hopefully find it again in future. I'm a bit miffed how searching for all bugs with my username finds nothing, yet searching with my full email brings them up, considering my username forms part of that email. But my head would now prefer a cup of tea to trying to decipher that. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Searching for a 4 character string taxes BZ's search engine much more heavily than a 22 character string. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

A real name can have variants, in order, case, spacing, errors... An email is a fixed token, case not important. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

Once you allow for ignoring case, its all the same. A character is a character. a string is a string. I suspect the real issue here is how the data is indexed. I suspect email is an indexed field, and real name isn't. Searching for real name then requires some grep like operation where as email uses an index. Maybe the bugzilla guys should talk to the Baloo guys and then finding all those bugs would be instantaneous. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.

Yes, that would make sense. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
