This is a case-insensitive ``all words as substrings'' search; words are separated by spaces. By default, the following fields are relevant: Summary, Keywords, Product, Component, Status Whiteboard. If a word looks like a part of a URL, that field is included in the search, too.
The generic format for a ``word'' is field1,...,fieldN:value1,...,valueM . A bug qualifies if at least one of the values occurs as a substring in at least one of the fields. For example, owner,reporter,qa:ibm,sun will give you bugs where the owner, reporter, or qa contact has an email address that contains ibm or sun . If only value1,...,valueM is given, the prefix (roughly) defaults to summary,keywords,product,component,statuswhiteboard: as noted above. You can use -word to express the logical negation of word.
