MySQL Bugs: #20845: Searching bugs.mysql.com for a specific bug reporter

Bug #20845	Searching bugs.mysql.com for a specific bug reporter
Submitted:	4 Jul 2006 10:01	Modified:	5 Jul 2006 20:04
Reporter:	Anders Henke	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None

Description:
Affects Website bugs.mysql.com, but this is no longer listed as a valid category ... please reassign accordingly.

When viewing a bug, e.g. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=16786, the bug's reporter name is highlighted in a URL to display currently open bugs created by that specific reporter. Well, at least the URL "http://bugs.mysql.com/search.php?cmd=display&status=Active&reporter=88810" gives me the impression and I also see this as a desirable feature.

When clicking on that link, the following search page gives results for all open bugs from any reporters, not only the given one.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Make it work :-)

If you don't see this as a bug, please make this at least a feature request.

It is quite annoying to search for a colleague's bugs, as the bug tracker has no "direct" frontend option to search for bugs submitted by other people. So I'd be glad if this feature would actually work, so we could just exchange each one's "reporter"-id in order to find specific bugs.

verified, the linked URL returns all active bug ordered by status

PS: didn't we have a bug category for the bug system itself in the past?

As the bug reporting page says, problems with our websites should be reported using our contact form.

But this problem has been fixed.
