Search doesn't search in description of bug

[Carthik Sharma]

The search function should also search the description of bugs . This would be very handy for finding duplicates.

Example of where search does not search the description:

Search for "ceskatelevize" in the totem package
(URL: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bugs?field.searchtext=ceskatelevize&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.assignee=&field.owner=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package= )

This bug should show up:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/49376

But it currently does not.

Thank you.

Duplicate status appears wrong 2 me. I searched for all of the following:

'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'
Inter1and2Helper object has no attribute source_repo
Inter1and2Helper source_repo
Inter1and2Helper
inter1and2helper

and got no results for any. Bugs 513432 and 515325 both contain these terms, and in the case of the single word query "Inter1and2Helper" (quotes not included in the query) there is no whitespace, nor is it split across a line, and the case is the same as what's in the bug description.

Oddly, I also searched for "seperator" (complete with misspelling), which appears in the subject of 29227. It does not turn up in the results...and at least one of the results that does appear, 307302, does not contain the search term -- the closest it has is "seperate" (also misspelled).

Does the search use Soundex or stemming or another approximate matching scheme, but somehow misses the original query terms?? Nah...

Methinks you have gremlins...
