Hi there,

We have enhanced search features on Bugzilla over the past months, because we 
know people search a lot. I want to let you know some of our goodies recently 
added to make your life easier.

 * New Custom Search UIon the Advanced Search page 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=advanced>: It was previously 
hard to build complex queries because of the poorly designed UI. Today we have 
shipped a completely new UI that allows you to add rows/groups, move them with a 
drag-and-drop, and remove ones if necessary.

 * Aliases for status & tracking flags: Each Firefox release has status and 
tracking flags like “status-firefox67” or “tracking-firefox68” but sometimes you 
may just want to find bugs by a specific channel. You can now use convenient 
aliases like “status-firefox-release” or “tracking-firefox-beta” so you don’t have 
to update your search queries every 7 weeks or so.

 * Merge date pronouns: You can now use Firefox merge date pronouns, including 
“%LAST_MERGE_DATE%” and “%LAST_RELEASE_DATE%”, for date fields.

 * Search in bug description: Searching in comments can be slow, but if you 
know what you’re looking for is in the bug’s description (comment 0), you can 
get results faster by ticking the “Description (initial comment) only” checkbox 
on the Advanced Search page.

So what’s next? We are currently working on an overhaul of the search results page 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1529362>, that will be richer and 
faster than the current plain table presentation. It should be coming in the next 
month or two.


Happy searching!


Kohei, for the Bugzilla team
