[rt-users] Search engine

[Bart]

Hi,

I've reproduced your problem using RT 4.0.8 using the quick search, since
I'm assuming this is where your trying this query?

When you use the quotes it treats the search argument as a string, when you
enter just a number it searches for that ticket ID.
So if you want to search for a number (just a number) you use quotes to
stop RT from looking for a ticket ID.

So far the above scenario is kinda what they mention on the search page:

Search for tickets by entering *id* numbers, subject words *"in quotes"*, *
> queues* by name, Owners by *username*, Requestors by *email address*, and
> ticket *statuses*.
> Any word not recognized by RT is searched for in ticket subjects.
> Entering *initial*, *active*, *inactive*, or *any* limits results to
> tickets with one of the respective types of statuses. Any individual status
> name limits results to just the statuses named.
> Start the search term with the name of a supported field followed by a
> colon, as in *queue:"Example Queue"* and *owner:email at example.com*, to
> explicitly specify the search type.
> CFs may be searched using a similar syntax as above with *cf.Name:value*.
> For the full power of RT's searches, please visit the search builder
> interface <https://rt.bkwi.nl/Search/Build.html>.


But in this case, you search for a word + number. I'd personally expect RT
to treat that entire phrase as a string, so this might be a bug?

Though on the other hand, the above text from the search page clearly
states that subject words should be "in quotes". Which might mean that this
is by design.

Anyways, personally I agree with you and I'd expect a different behaviur in
this situaiton.

But I don't know exactly how this part "should" work, so maybe someone from
bestpractical could drop a line on "this is by design" or "this is a bug"?
