Short version: There's a new experimental page up at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/dupfinder/simpler-dup-finder.cgi Play with it and tell me what you think.
Long version: This new page is somewhat like the current simple-dup-finder: the page layout is similar and when it finds a backtrace in the data you supply, it searches for other bugs with a similar stacktrace (and both use the same methods for searching in this case so the results will be identical). It's different in that if it doesn't find a stacktrace, it does a natural language search to check for potential dupes (employing MySQL's fulltext search capabilities). The natural language search produces fairly different results from the stack trace search. While the latter can be thought of as a method for just finding potential duplicates, the former is perhaps best thought of as a way to find the 10 most closely related bugs word-wise. This means that the bugs it finds are somewhat less likely to be duplicates, though in my testing so far I have still find it useful (especially when I already recognize the bug and know its a duplicate). The ability to find closely related non-dupes seems interesting too. There's also a simplified version of the page with just the textbox at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/dupfinder/simpler-dup-finder.cgi?simpleform=true which I'm kind of thinking of as a "Check if your issue is already filed" kind of form.
