Chad H. <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|Low |Lowest Summary|'talk:foo' search returns |Retry searches when |unexpected results, |namespace-specific search |searches wrong NS |returns nothing Severity|minor |enhancement --- Comment #2 from Chad H. <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Nik Everett from comment #1) > The search part seems to be working correctly. When we have a namespace > prefix we seem to be successfully limiting the search to that namespace.

I think the current behavior's pretty predictable as it is. I'd get kind of confused as a user if the profile just changed on me. > As far as searching without the namespace restriction if you don't find any > results with the restriction, I'm open to this but I don't think that it is > a now thing. I've made similar comments in Bug 52904 but left that one high > priority due to relevance issues. I think the namespace filter is more > deliberate than extra search terms. It is special syntax you have to know > and use. > > Triaging to low because both potential fixes seem low priority, at least to > me. This part is still possibly worth doing. Retitling bug, marking as enhancement, lowering priority further. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
