This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The "Search online Task Repository" option in the dropdown of the issue quick find seems to search only for equal match. So searching for words in summary only works if the entire summary is specified. To reproduce (verify) use our "CDev Test Project1" testing project and try to search for "testing". The same with issue numbers, but here I'm not sure if it is a bug (i.e. searching for 22 currently finds issue with number 22 and not 222).
