Reported by christia...@gmail.com, Apr 4, 2011
Affected Version: 2.1.6.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log on to http://egit.eclipse.org
2. In the search field type 'message:normalize' (without the single quotes) and hit the search button. No messages are found
3. Inspect http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2943 to see that the search should have returned at least this one.

Expected output is that I see at least http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2943. But instead I get an empty list. Nothing is found by
this search.

Please provide any additional information below.

There's an implied "status:open" added to that query (not sure if that's a bug...).

Forcing status:merged does the trick.

We need the ability to have the search ignore the status field or at least accept something like status:all.  The main use case for this is that a user wants to see all changes associated with a given project, branch, and topic.

It probably makes sense to return the status as an additional column for an all status query.  Since the Open, Merged, and Abandoned "tabs" don't show status, it may be necessary to add an 'all status' tab for that view.

Even doing message:test (status:merged or status:open) does not work. Is there any workaround using boolean operators?

Why the priority is "Minor"?

The defect makes the search function effectively useless in our project.

At the very least add 'status:any' to fill the gap.

This is fixed with Gerrit 2.8 when secondary indexes are enabled. Searching with the "message:" operator now finds changes independently of the change state.
