I suggest one simple to do improvement:
Add UNCONFIRMED to the default issue search criteria.
Agree. We've made a lot of duplicates before we learn
that we must include UNCONFIRMED.
It definitely should be default. It'll reduce DUPLICATE.
It makes no sense not to search the unconfirmed issues when looking for
duplicates since there seem to be quite many unconfirmed low ID issues.
I recently added it to my default criteria after producing some
duplicates just because of not having searched the unconfirmed issues.
You can search the description, not only the subject, but admittedly
that is much slower.
Another problem is getting too many search results. Good ranking
will help.
I also suspect that 'duplicate' is sometimes overused by developers,
in that they close as duplicate a bug that has the same cause
underneath, but different symptoms. In that case it is the same bug
from a developer perspective, but it is not duplicate from an end-user
and QA perspective.
Definitely! I found many such situations that I disagree with
the developers. I understand that single patch will fix all the
issues but they are different problems from users' perspective
and you've to QA each of them after applying the patch
to ensure that you really solve all the problems.
Is it possible to change the rule?
Is it possible to enhance the search issue feature?
It probably is possible technically. But it is unlikely to be possible
within the constraints of SourceCast...
I only want to be able to do something like this
http://www.google.com/search?q=Thai+line+breaking+site:qa.openoffice.org
And get the result with Google ranking.
But it's impossible because Google doesn't crawl the issues.
If only we can make IZ Google friendly, maybe site (issue) map.
