Bugzilla Search Queries

These are things you might want to know about searching FreeBSD's Bugzilla.

/!\ Some of the queries below are visible and linked on the FreeBSD Bugzilla Dashboard. TODO: canonicalize more of them.

The queries listed on this page are for "normal situations". The searches for situations that should not happen (e.g. "unsupported FreeBSD versions") should be managed by Bugmeister; see the Bugmeister QA list for those.
