That's assuming that someone wants to search the bug description for
one thing and each further comment for something else, which is rarely
the case with QA volunteers.

If you want to search for one item, you need two urls:

http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=foo&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED

and (similar to yours)

http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=foo&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED


http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abugs.winehq.org doesn't work
either, Google does not index the contents of the bugs pages.  Not
sure why.
