Bug#155086: lists.debian.org/search problem

[Tomohiro KUBOTA <tkubota@riken.go.jp>]

Package: www.debian.org
Version: 2002-08-01

Something is wrong on lists.debian.org/search.html page.

For example, I searched with the following condition:

   Search for: potato
   List filter: security
   Date filter: Jul to Sep 2002
   Case sensitive: no (default)
   Partial match: no (default)
   Single line match: no (default)
   Misspellings allowed: 0 (default)
   Max messages returned: 25 (default)
   Max lines per message: 10 (default)

and I got five results of:

     http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200207/
            msg00006.html
            msg00009.html
            msg00044.html
            msg00157.html
            msg00158.html

However, there are more pages which contains "potato" within this
two months in debian-security list.  For example,

     http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200207/
            msg00321.html

There are even more pages if we allow "Potato" (because I did a
case-insensitive search).


More curious thing is that "Case sensitive: yes" search gives more
results than "Case sensitive: no" search.  "Case sensitive: yes"
search with the above condition gives 9 results, in which 5 are same
to the above results and 4 are followings:

     http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2002/debian-security-200207/
            msg00250.html
            msg00253.html
            msg00307.html
            msg00311.html

Note that there are unsearched results such as msg00321 even with
"Case sensitive: yes" mode.
