New Features and Improvements

+ + +

+ In the "Advanced Search" page, it is now possible to build queries using + multiple custom search criteria against the same field. In [% terms.Bugzilla %] + 4.2 and older, queries of the form +

+ "Status changed to VERIFIED" AND "Status changed by foo@bar.com" +

+ were returning all [% terms.bugs %] which had their status changed to VERIFIED + by some user and which were edited by foo@bar.com once, but both actions could + be independent. In [% terms.Bugzilla %] 4.4, you can now decide if both + criteria must match the exact same action or not, i.e. if you want + [%+ terms.bugs %] whose status has been set to VERIFIED by foo@bar.com himself. + In the same way, queries of the form +

+ "Flags changed to approval+" AND "Flags changed by foo@bar.com" +

+ can now return [% terms.bugs %] for which the approval flag has been set to + "+" by foo@bar.com himself. In previous versions, both actions were treated + independently and [% terms.bugs %] for which foo@bar.com set the approval flag + to "?" and which is then set to "+" by someone else were also returned. +

+

+ This new feature gives you the ability to build more accurate queries and to + get more relevant results. +

+ +

Improved Performance for Searches

+ +

+ The search system got a performance boost which in some cases decreases the + time spent to run queries from several minutes to a few seconds only. + The more complex your queries are, and the more visible the performance win + should be. +
