Too many results in bug search

Asked by Emanuele Bellini

I made the following search:

https://launchpad.net/+search?field.actions.search=Search&field.text=keyboard+mouse+work+only+some+windows&start=880

At the beginning, I had about 4000 results found, I felt not very lucky.
When I reached about the 800th result I had always the same two results in every page.
So I tried to put at the end of the line a higher number, 1240 for example. I had no results.
This is not a problem for me, I submitted it only for you to improve the search in Launchpad.

There is an advanced search option that allows you to refine your search. This can bring thousands of results down to 10 or so.

No, I haven't explained myself... I was meaning that it seemed strange to me to have all those results, but it was because there were meaningless entries at the end of the list.

Oops, a correction: at the very end, there aren't any results at all!
