System searches conducted on a 5.3 Satellite gives ambiguous / erroneous results
Issue
- When searching for a package, running kernel, etc.; the results are either erroneous (wrong results altogether), ambiguous (correct results along with many others), or incomplete (no results when I know that there are results to be obtained)
- Search for running kernel '2.4.21' results in all systems with 2.4.x kernel
- Search for package pyXML results in no returns
- Search for Dell vendor ID results in return of many VMware VMs, HP systems, and Dell systems.
- Satellite reports a VM running on a different system than it actually is.
Environment
- Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3
