Question

What is FogBugz search capable of?

Answer 1

Some useful searches:

• EditedBy:me Edited:"last month" -- what did I work on last month? Useful when filling timesheets ;-)
• You can replace "last month" with e.g. "last week", "last friday", "yesterday", "today"
• Opened:"1/1..today" -- what was opened since the beginning of the year?
• 123,345,567,876,435 -- gives you list with exactly these cases (there must be no space after comma to make this work)
• Edited:"yesterday..today" -- what do people work on now?

Answer 2

Here's the documentation for the search cabilities of the latest version of FogBugz 7.

Behold that which is here.

Answer 3

Search for a range of cases:

case:"1234..5678"

Search for an open range of cases:

case:"1234.." 
case:"..5678"

Answer 4

Negating searches

Not edited by me:

-editedby:me

Contains 'cat', but not 'hat', so as to match 'The Sly Old Cat' but not 'The Cat in the Hat':

cat -hat

These can be especially useful when combined with filters. My current filter is:

All cases assigned to Jude Allred that are active containing -tag:search-rearchitecture -milestone:backlog

Which allows me to hide all of the cases tagged as 'search-rearchitecture' or that are part of the 'backlog' milestone.

Answer 5

I have a filter set up called "What I did Today", with the search set to:

edited:"-18.." editedBy:me

Similarly, and occasionally more useful, is "What I did last Week":

edited:"-168.." editedBy:me
