Comment(by sewebster@…):

 Right, I understand the mechanism of the current behaviour.  However,
 based on my logic, when you choose to use the "port is" query, you really
 want to find any ticket which matches that specific port name you enter.
 You might do this for instance if you wanted to find all tickets filed
 against "poppler" but NOT "poppler-data".  However, the current system
 would cause you to not find a ticket which is filed against "poppler" and
 "gtk2" for instance if you used "port is poppler".

 I guess what I think would be better would be more difficult to implement,
 and might necessitate stuff like searching for "babl AND gegl" if you
 wanted to perform the same query that currently happens when you use "port
 is babl gegl".  Of course currently searching for "port contains gegl
 babl" will also not find #20906 which I also think is non-optimal.

 Anyway, as I said, this is not important.  Hopefully you at least
 understand what I am getting at, but you are of course free to disagree :)
 Probably good advice for people in general is to usually not use the "is"
 option, and to make your "contains" queries rather "vague" to start and
 only narrow down if necessary.  Maybe this is obvious.
