Who can get the most hits from the Known Issues search engine with the fewest words?

Can anyone get a complete consecutive list of known issues to come out?

With "Include Closed Issues" selected and " teleport* vehicle* object* ghost* group* land* button* list* inventory* " as search terms, I get issues number 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 36, 37, 39, 43, 44, 47, 48, 51, 53, 56, 58, 61, 62, & 67.

Can anyone do better?

We used to have a complete list of bugs before they changed its name to "Known Issues" and hid the list from us and gave us a search engine that apparently doesn't work at all for some people and gave us search help with references to "rows" as if we were looking at a spreadsheet instead of looking for reported bugs.

Sometimes it would be better if people just did nothing instead of doing the work they do they way they do it. When we had the complete list, we could read the whole thing from front to end, or use the browsers built in search function if we really need to skip over things that much. It's only 70 items or so, it doesn't really need a search engine at all.

a* b* c* d* e* f* g* h* i* j* k* l* m* n* o* p* q* r* s* t* u* v* w* x* y* z*
pwned :)

Here is the resulting webpage, as saved by Firefox, zipped to include the images folder. Seems to contain all bugs after #4, with the possible exception of one (probably not listed because it's exploitable, if it's the one I reported). They aren't always sorted in numeric order. Must be a relevance thing.

Heh, heh, who would have thought to use one letter sequences with asterisk wild card characters? We don't get to use even as low as three letter sequences with a wildcard to search the forums for cos, tan, sin, etc., and they are big enough to need such a search.

It is possible that the search mechanism cuts off after a number of terms, that might account for why an item was missing. So resorting that list of terms might yield the missing item.

Even if one item is not being displayed for a reason, it would be nice to have a stub come up with a message like "This item not shown for reasons of national security.", or "This item is being withheld because we know that is the sort of thing that will drive you absolutely nuts. Ha Ha Ha!"

(and yes, i am aware that in some contexts the search for sin in the forums is like the search for nitrogen in the air.)

(and yes, i know the message would not refer to items like one would if they spoke english, it would refer to rows as if one was a GEEK)
