Yes, there is a reason :) Someone comes to the tracker with a bug, and does a
good search...and with an open-only search doesn't find an issue, because we've
already fixed it but it isn't in the version of python they are running. But
the default searches
New submission from Guido van Rossum:
It was pointed out to me:
> Would you also please point out to everybody, and I really do mean
> everybody, at "Search" on the left hand side of the screen under "Issues".
> Better yet make it the default, as it's vastly superior to the default
> "Search"
