Searching for foo:bar in Maniphest yields Unknown search function "foo". Supported functions are: all, title, body, core, comment..
Given that semicolon is very common in error messages that one searches for often (PHP static calls, for example), this seems like a very annoying way to handle unrecgnized keyword-like search terms.
Not related as I've experienced this before.
This is expected behavior. Syntax is documented in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Search_terms , see "Field Search" in https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/search/ for upstream documentation. Workaround is to use quotation marks around your term.
This error got a little stricter recently so it might crop up more often after the next upgrade, and it's normally hard to hit by accident so I don't mind being more verbose in handling it. I can add a hint to the error message, something like:
To search for a term containing a colon, use quotation marks.
There are also two new field operators (title:- for "field is absent" and title:~ for "field is present") in the current release. They're fairly niche/specialized but maybe they'll be helpful in some edge cases.
I added a hint about this to the upstream in https://secure.phabricator.com/D21209.
... (To search for a term containing a colon, surround the term in double quotes.)
It nowadays says Unknown search function "foo". Supported functions are: all, body, comment, core, title. (To search for a term containing a colon, surround the term in double quotes.) (as described by Evan in the previous comment)
