Confirming.

Bugzilla has different searches, and that's rather confusing (also to me).

One is the advanced search at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi?format=advanced

When using https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi?format=specific you will get the expected result (among 1751 other results, *cough*) as it also seems to include comment content.

The search box in the upper right corner is the same search as the one centered on the Bugzilla front page (I'm thinking of removing that box as it's duplicated functionality) and it seems to not cover comments.

And to further complicate things, there is also https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/page.cgi?id=quicksearch.html - rather powerful, but really hard to find.

So, if I want to make sure that the search does a fulltext search of the comments, I should use https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi?format=specific as linked from the left navbar? Got it.

If we're marking this priority as "low" then it would be nice to try to spread the word about the different searches - maybe another one of your "Hidden Treasures of Bugzilla" blog posts, Andre? :)
