Description

I'm not able to find a specific Task using the Phabricator search form.

Description of the problem

Searching error in Wikimedia Phabricator and setting a Tag, I cannot find a specific result. Live example:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/search/query/ULASybUwkKer/

{F35646873}

This result is not listed:

T304193: Fix database query error in CiviCRM (phpQueryObject.php on line 1040: "Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated")

Additional notes

Note that searching "kawabonga" in phab.wmflabs.org shows a Task with "wakabonga" in the title.

In this case, it works but I noticed that the matching text is not underlined. Live example:

https://phab.wmflabs.org/search/query/XErADOQikRq0/#R

Note that searching "stupid" in another Phabricator shows a Task with "stupid" in the title.

In this case, it works and I noticed that the matching text is underlined. Live example:

https://gitpull.it/search/query/YBLujDebuzTP/#R

I've read the official Phabricator search documentation and I've also tried title:error, title:~error, core:error and other weird combinations without understanding why Wikimedia Phabricator does not work when using the keyword "error" to find the Task T304193.

So it seems a problem in Wikimedia Phabricator (production) and not Phabricator itself.

Indeed; the proper Maniphest search at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/IReCdyJDn.xF/#R also does not list any results

Elasticsearch since Phabricator uses that as backend:

hieradata/role/eqiad/phabricator.yaml

phabricator_cluster_search:
  - type: 'elasticsearch'
    path: '/phabricator'
    port: 9243
    version: 5
    hosts:
      - protocol: 'https'
        host: 'search.svc.eqiad.wmnet'
        roles:
          read: true
          write: true
