The original bug number 62233 was filed on 07-20-2011 because I am not been able to search within documents created using the briefcase create document feature. I also posted a error message which I was receiving in case the error message was some how related. For the next 6 months the bug was repeatedly marked closed, fixed, or resolved and I attempted repeatedly to convince the Bugzilla staff that the bug actually existed. The bug was closed on 2012-02-10 because the error message was fixed. This was upsetting because I filed the bug because I can not use the search document feature. I did not file the bug because I was receiving an error message. The bug was not fixed, and some progress towards resolving the bug was lost. The new bug 69588 was opened 01-26-2012 and I continue to try and convince the bugzilla staff that this bug exist while they continue to mark the bug fixed, closed, resolved, or will not fix.
On 2012-03-12 Jon Dybik marked the bug as invalid claiming the bug was related to attachments, this bug was never related to attachments.
I am certain the briefcase search does not work, search should work, and this is not a feature limitation but this is a programming error.
I have contacted VMware about this issue and the representative tryed to be helpful but I have yet to see results.
This experience with the way Vmware runs their bugzilla has forever tarnished my opinion of the company and their products.

VMware Staff Bugzilla Abuse or mismanagement
Ordinarily I wouldn't wade into a discussion like this but I have to ask: does it say anywhere in the Zimbra documentation that FOSS allows search inside documents (of any type) which are stored in Briefcase? If not, then that doesn't mean that it's a bug, per se, if your kludge doesn't work in some circumstances.
What I'd suggest is to change your request into an RFE, clearly state that a simple code adjustment would accomplish what you want (i.e, searching in documents created within briefcase), and then post a link to the RFE in a new thread. I suspect you'll get quite a few votes as this would be a useful feature.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I understand what you are saying. Unfortunately this looks like incomplete FOSS code to me. The searching partially works. If somebody can point me in the right direction I would try to look at fixing the code myself.
I believe Zimbra FOSS uses Lucene Apache Lucene - Apache Lucene Core
UPDATE: We tested on a zimbra FOSS 5 server and the searching works, although it stopped working in FOSS 6 according to my test. This would technically be classified as a software regression.

I suppose, and you could mention that, but it one could also call it an undocumented side-effect in ZCS 5, which later disappeared. Six of one, half dozen of the other, you will probably have more success calling it an enhancement than a bug. Better still if you can fix it yourself and share the result with other FOSS users.
