For text based searching in the "All text", or "Title" fields,
I often 
want certain keywords and not an exact phrase
search. E.G. I 
would like to type "eth0 jabber" in a Title
field and find all topics 
that have the words "eth0" and the
word "jabber" in the title 
regardless of their relative
positions in the title. Right now it 
seems phrase searching
is the only thing that is 
possible.

I would suggest splitting the search phrase into 
quoted
(phrase search) and unquoted portions and 
then
reporting the intersection of the results for each 
search.

E.G.

  "sun microsystems" sunblade disk 
failure

would be implemented as:

  search for the 
phrase "sun microsystems"
  search for the phrase 
"sunblade"

set the result set to the intersection of these 
two
search results.

  search for the phrase 
"disk"

set the result set to the intersection of the current 
result
set and the results of this search. Same with the phrase 
"failure".

You closed this and I updated from cvs about 3 hours 
ago.
I just tried a search in the all text box putting in two
words that 
occur in different messages in an issue.
It didn't find the issue. I also 
tried with three words
where two of the words or the single word used 
as a
search term returned the correct issue. With three 
words,
the search failed to return any issues.

If I put in multiple 
words that occur in a single message,
then it found the 
corresponding issue. If I put a word from
the subject and a message 
body together, the issue is not
found.

Is this the intended 
spec? Its a great improvement from
the single word only search 
capability, but I was figuring
that the searches should be over all of the 
messages
associated with a ticket.

If it is spec, I would make 
note of the requirement that all
words must occur in a single message 
or the title.

Also I have a number of messages that are assigned 
to
multiple issues. Is this possibly causing a problem?
