<title>Command-line Bugzilla Queries</title>
<para>
Users can query Bugzilla from the command line using
this suite of utilities.
</para>
<para>
The query.conf file contains the mapping from options to field
names and comparison types. Quoted option names are "grepped" for, so
it should be easy to edit this file. Comments (#) have no effect; you
must make sure these lines do not contain any quoted "option"
</para>
<para>
buglist is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and writes the
resulting HTML page to stdout. It supports both short options,
(such as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options (such as
"--assignedto=foo" or "--reporter=bar"). If the first character
of an option is not "-", it is treated as if it were prefixed
with "--default=".
</para>
<para>
The columlist is taken from the COLUMNLIST environment variable.
This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list
bugs in buglist.cgi. If you have already used Bugzilla, use
<command>grep COLUMLIST ~/.netscape/cookies</command> to see
your current COLUMNLIST setting.
</para>
<para>
bugs is a simple shell script which calls buglist and extracts
the bug numbers from the output. Adding the prefix
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id="
turns the bug list into a working link if any bugs are found.
Counting bugs is easy. Pipe the results through
<command>sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc | awk '{printf $2 "\n"}'</command>
</para>

Akkana says she has good results piping buglist output through

<title>The Quicksearch Utility</title>
<para>
Quicksearch is a new, experimental feature of the 2.12 release.
It consist of two Javascript files, "quicksearch.js" and "localconfig.js",
and two documentation files, "quicksearch.html" and "quicksearchhack.html"
</para>
<para>
The index.html page has been updated to include the QuickSearch text box.
</para>
<para>
To take full advantage of the query power, the Bugzilla maintainer must
edit "localconfig.js" according to the value sets used in the local installation.
</para>
<para>
Currently, keywords must be hard-coded in localconfig.js. If they are not,
keywords are not automatically recognized. This means, if localconfig.js
is left unconfigured, that searching for a bug with the "foo" keyword
will only find bugs with "foo" in the summary, status whiteboard, product or
component name, but not those with the keyword "foo".
</para>
<para>
Workarounds for Bugzilla users:
<simplelist>
<member>search for '!foo' (this will find only bugs with the keyword "foo"</member>
<member>search 'foo,!foo' (equivalent to 'foo OR keyword:foo')</member>
</simplelist>
</para>
<para>
When this tool is ported from client-side JavaScript to server-side Perl,
the requirement for hard-coding keywords can be fixed.
