I wanted to change bug 419524 from being about launchpad to being about launchpad-code. I opened the status foldout thing, clicked search next to project name, typed launchpad-code and pressed search. Despite this being the literal precise name of a project, it gave me 10+ pages of results, with the exact match only being on the fourth page. Most of them seem to have nothing in common with the name I searched for other than that they presumably use launchpad and have code. |

If too many hits are found 'undefined' is shown and nothing can be used. This is particularly annoying when an exact match exists. |

Symptoms
========
In popup searches that require selecting a project/product/distribution - such as the bug target picker - an exact string like 'launchpad' will return 'Too many results' and show no options at all. Sometimes it will show 10 or more pages of results with the exact match hidden deep in the results.
Most of the results seem to have nothing in common with the search string (particularly for searches for 'launchpad').
If too many hits are found 'undefined' is shown and nothing can be used. This is particularly annoying when an exact match exists.
Workarounds
===========
In the case of reassigning a bug, you can click the drop-down marker on the far left side of the bug task row and type in the target you want to change to. |
