When searching against Bugzilla for a query I noticed this: 1. Create a new "Query using Form" 2. Enter an email address and "contains". 3. Do not check any checkboxes, e.g. Owner, Reporter.. The results come back with all entries in Bugzilla. :O My expectation would be that there would be no results.
The behavior is as design but I would argue that there is a lack of input validation. It doesn't make much sense to provide an email address but to not check off one of the boxes. Frank, how difficult would it be to add that?
Oh you're right -- the bugzilla "ui" does this as well. :O I'm not sure I'd call it as much 'by design' as 'by default' as it looks like the bugzilla query doesn't really seem to have a validation step -- it just builds up the query statement as best as it can from the information that the dumb user gives it. If the form is meant to be a direct analog of the bugzilla UI then I'd say leave it alone. If there is already a validation step in there, then I'd say add it.
I start with this tomorrow! I think that is an bug, because we only add selected buttons to the query. Maybe I only have to move 3 statement into an if block (two times).
I add an ErrorDialog when validating in Search mode fails.

It looked like validation works but the error didn't get cleared when I selected Reporter (Finish was enabled though). Since I didn't do anything wrong this should not be an error but a standard message.
Fixed with new push (id=d1d4e9582e26e9c5564460124a812c2a9b708af5)
