><P
>Quicksearch is a single-text-box query tool which uses metacharacters
to indicate what is to be searched. For example, "foo@bar.com" would be
looked for in email address fields, because it contains an @ and so
is an email address.
</P
><P
>Quicksearch consists of two Javascript files,
"quicksearch.js" and "localconfig.js",
and two documentation files, "quicksearch.html" and
"quicksearchhack.html". More information on how to use Quicksearch
can be found there. You'll find the Quicksearch box on Bugzilla's
front page.</P
><P
>To take full advantage of the query power, the Bugzilla maintainer
must edit "localconfig.js" and change the parameters according to the local
installation.</P
><P
>Currently, keywords must be hard-coded in localconfig.js. If they
are not, keywords are not automatically recognized. This means, if
localconfig.js is left unconfigured, that searching for a bug with the
"foo" keyword will only find bugs with "foo" in the summary, status
whiteboard, product or component name, but not those with the keyword
"foo".</P

Perl, the requirement for hard-coding keywords can be fixed.
