>Description:
When using the web interface to query-pr, multi-word search arguments need to
be wrapped in ""s, like you would for query-pr. 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.
