Description Antoine Toulmé

I want to be able to do a simple search on a project and not specify any terms for the search.

This is not possible right now, the search form requires to enter at least a word.

I want to be able to list all the open bugs for a specific project in that way.

This works using the advanced search page.

Example:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=Phoenix

Thanks for the workaround. I think Bugzilla should allow the search to happen with a simple search.

In the mean time I'll edit URLS:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=GMF

works fine.

No, Bugzilla intentionally disabled this search because this type of search is stressing the database extremely and should not be performed on a daily basis.

No need to manipulate URLs. Just use the advanced search form. It generates those URLs.

Closing as worksforme.  At any rate, like Gunnar suggests, this isn't something we want to encourage.

I a gree that this bug should be closed if it is dangerous right now for Bugzilla to be queried that way.

However I think having an overview of the projects is crucial, and there should be tools to get that. I see some analysis tools but they don't seem to give a complete view of a project and a good way to measure its maturity.

This depends on what you consider mature.  Have a look at the Dash tools -- they contain lots of behind-the-scenes information about our projects:

That's some cool stuff, but it only concerns commits.

No, that's really not what I am looking for. I will open an enhancement request for it.
