In case anyone was wondering, one of these web sites got it right. The other got it
wrong. First, have a look at the query page from the bug database on
java.net:

Now, consider the front page of
alltheweb.com:

Some poor shlep put a lot of work into that query page for the bug database. I'm tempted to shake my head and say, "WTF?", but I know I've been guilty of this kind of thing. To be fair, java.net has a much easier search box, hidden off to the side where bozos like me won't find it. So, here's a reminder not to do shit like that.
