It's a feature :-)
Actually, the non-win-or-mac OS is actually 'generic', or 'unix'.
Personally, I think a 'Unix', and/or 'generic' flag would be useful, but
as I recall this was poo-pooed as being unecessary, the implication
being search for win/mac if you need to, otherwise everything is
applicable across the board.  What does everyone else think?

Whoops, thanks, will fix.

I'm not sure what you mean.  You can search via the web front end on the
subject field, or you can search via the email interface, with straight
SQL statements. as per below: 
 
    To: bugdb@perl.bug
    Subject: -h -s
    Body: SELECT DISTINCT ticketid FROM tm_messages WHERE messagebody
LIKE '%parser%'

I don't think so, if it's not just how everyone wants it, then it needs
adjusting until most people are comfortable with it, I think.

Well, I'm about 80% through a rewrite, which should make the whole thing
installable (not in the original spec.), and add administrator lists,
etc. etc. not to mention all the little tweaks that will be required
once people hear it's fluid, sigh...!

> Thanks for the efforts anwyas.
It's always good to get a little feedback.
