Hehe. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4254 We once had a search box at http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html which really queried the issue database, that is, you enter one or more terms, and all issues containing this term in the summary (not sure if we also included description) were displayed. Effectively the same as entering this/those term/s in the query.cgi site, in the right place. This caused so heavy traffic on the collab.net site (at least we've been told that the performance problems they had at this time were caused by the pre_submission page's database querying), that we were forced to replace the search with the one you see today, which is absolutely useless, in my not so humble opinion. Perhaps we should re-introduce the better search box, in multiple places across the whole site, and see what happens ...
