I'm really to get a list of all cases whose resolution is Implemented/Fixed/Completed (because this tells me what's going to be in the next build).

When I do a search for multiple resolution statuses, I get a correct list of cases:

Search: status:"Resolved (Fixed)" OR status:"Resolved (Completed)"

However, when I try to save the search results as a filter, I don't get the same list (usually I get nothing):

Filter: All cases containing status:"Resolved (Fixed)" OR status:"Resolved (Completed)"

It looks like there is a bug when using this search clause within a filter. This is in an on-site install, Version 7.3.1 (DB 743, Build 1866).

You found a bug! I've filed a case with the engineers and we will fix it in an upcoming release.

Thanks for the catch.

Try also setting category:Bug in you filter.

I explicitly do NOT want to limit my search results to Bugs. I want to see Features, Bugs, etc. with my Resolved statuses. – nonplus Jun 4 2010 at 22:02
Yeah, I've run into this before. Currently, we only use Bugs, so I've been able to work around it, but I agree, it is a bug (or at least very unintuitive behaviour) in FogBugz. – James McLeod♦ Jun 5 2010 at 12:00

Until a fixed version is released, you can work around this by removing the last paren from the first term.

status:"Resolved (Fixed" OR status:"Resolved (Completed)"

It looks like it's the right parentheses that cause the problem (we actually have more than two resolved statuses to filter on). When I whack each instance of the right parenthesis, the search filter now works for me as expected. Thanks for the workaround! – nonplus Jun 15 2010 at 16:45
