When searching the article and bug pages, you can create complex search queries using a few simple logical operators. Searching for One or More Words The default logical operator is OR - list each word you want to find separated by spaces. For example, to find all bug reports about SNMP or networking, use: snmp network You can also require both words using the AND keyword. For example, to find all bug reports about SNMP against CUPS 1.2.x, use: snmp and 1.2 Searching for a Complete Phrase Enclose phrases containing spaces in quotes. For example, to find all articles about weekly snapshots, use: "weekly snapshot" Excluding Words and Phrases The NOT operator can be used to exclude a word or phrase. For example, to find all articles that are not about weekly snapshots, use: not "weekly snapshot" Similarly, to find all 1.2 bug reports that are not feature requests, use: 1.2 and not feature Grouping Multiple Queries You can group multiple queries using parenthesis. For example, to find all 1.2 bug reports concerning Solaris or HP-UX, use: 1.2 and (Solaris HP-UX) Searching Specific Fields You can search specific fields by prefixing your search words with the corresponding field name. For example, to find all bug reports submitted by user "jane", use: creator:jane The following field names are supported: `creator` - The creator of the article, bug report, or feature request `developer` - The developer assigned to the bug report or feature request `fixversion` - The fix version of the bug report or feature request `number` - The article, bug report, or feature request number `subsystem` - The subsystem of the bug report or feature request `title` - The title of the article, bug report, or feature request `version` - The version of bug report, or feature request
