PHP version:      Irrelevant
Package:          Website problem
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:advanced search broken

Description:
------------
The advanced search page at https://bugs.php.net/search.php
is a method=GET form, yet it can generate a very large URI, causing a
server error "URI Too Large".

It is inadmissible that normal use of the UI can generate a request that
the same server offering the UI cannot handle.

Test script:
---------------
1. Go to https://bugs.php.net/search.php
2. In the "Return bugs from these packages" multi select, select all the
items
3. Enter some keywords in the first text input field
4. hit "Search"

Expected result:
----------------
Should get the search results

Actual result:
--------------
You get a server error:
> Request-URI Too Large
> The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this
server.


Suggestions: 

Either use a method=POST form, or encode the search parameters in a more
efficient way.

Ah, and more importantly, test your website.
