Gerrit's configuration for Phabricator references matches the number only and adds the T in the url. The commentlink match group should instead include the T in the match.

Gerrit 2.12 seems to allow us to search with out any for example type:

So for example you can search for

T1 and it should find commits with that being referenced.

Would that be ok, or do you still want it to be bug:. I doint see that happening in the near future.

The test case in the initial description can still be reproduced.
Whether it's worth to care or not is a different question. :)

Yep it Is still reproducible, I'm wondering if it is infact the plugins that do this if so maybe we can extend it in its-phabricator plugin, if not we can find where the source code is that supports search prefix bug: and then look at it to see why it wont take in T in the search.
