This is not docuemnted on the webpage itself or anywhere else I can see and confused me for a while before I figured out what was going on. Preferably, the cgi script should add the ""s itself before passing to query-pr. I'm not sure what other implications it has for leaving off the ""s, except that it doesnt return any matches :-) There also seems to be lacking any way to query a PR by name, i.e., ports/xxxx (unless I'm just blind). >How-To-Repeat: Surf to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?query and do a search for, e.g., Originator=Pedro Giffuni (no quotes). This will fail, whereas "Pedro Giffuni" will succeed. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the messagehelp
