You're being too kind. It's broken. According to the bugzilla web page, the search includes the summary/description (as one might expect), but it doesn't actually _do_ that. > You might notice developers renaming bugs - > this is why.

I've used MantisBT a lot over the past few years, and it seems like it works much better than bugzilla in many ways. It even has a search that works! Even Jira was better than bugzilla, and I never liked Jira much. Of course switching from one bug tracking system to another is a pretty big undertaking... -- Grant
