Simple search usage

Hi all.

The text from the Simple Search says this:

Search for tickets. Enter id numbers, queues by name, Owners by username
and Requestors by email address. RT will look for anything else you
enter in ticket bodies and attachments.

Searching the full text of every ticket can take a long time, but if you
need to do it, you can search for any word in full ticket history for
any word by typing fulltext:word.

RT will look for anything else you enter in ticket subjects.

I’m running 3.6.0, MySQL, FC5, etc.

The only thing that the simple search will do in my instance of RT is
parse the subject. If I prefix with fulltext:, it parses Attachments.
None of the other fields that it claims to search are being searched (
username, email address, queues ). Has anybody else seen this?

Correction, search by queue name works, but nothing else. Anyone else
have this problem?

Simple search works for me, except for queue names. Weird !?!
I tried ticket id, email address and had no problem at all.

I tailed /var/log/httpd/error_log while running a smiple search by username:

I fixed the dumb Queue name by removing the apostrophe ( these queue names were imported from another system ).

Ran tail again and simple search by username:

Problem is gone now. Simple search seems to work now with whatever I throw at it.

No, that wasn’t the problem. I was wrong. Not related at all, I don’t think. I have discovered that only privileged users are searched in the simple search ( at least I think have discovered this ). I just need to figure out where to change this behavior, I guess.

Hi Dario. Do your queue names have spaces in the names? The queues I have were imported from another database, including the spaces in the names. I’ve found that I can’t use simple search to search for tickets in queues that have spaces in the names.

I should add that my “solution” was to re-import the queues and squash the whitespace with regex. In fact, I decided to grab the queue names from the customer domain names, rather than the human-friendly names, which may not be relevant to your situation, but worth mentioning anyhow.

Yes, they do. That may be the problem then.
Thanks a lot.

Huh, that’s interesting to know. And adding quotes around it doesn’t fix it. That seems like some sort of bug to me - it’s useful to have queue names with spaces in them.
