/users/{id} and /users/{id}/timeline - filter parameter?

Question

Both /users/{id} and /users/{id}/timeline say they take a filter parameter for users' names, but it seems to do nothing. Are they not supposed to be there?

Answer 1

Confirmed. Looks like a bug.

Example:

• Username: Joel Potter
• http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/users/65611?filter=blahblah
