So do you think would be helpful some web-based tool to search in past bug reports, before entering them? If so, in this case we assume that people always search for past reports. :P
I'm discussing about it because we (RiSE - http://www.rise.com.br/research) are developing some kind of tool to search in past reports using techniques appropriate for this task. Moreover the idea is to enable project's community, like Trac, use the tool online. Basically, the idea behind the tool is to have a interface where people could index the project's reports and search for them. Of course, robust search techniques, which are not provide currently by bug trackers, are being used to perform this task. Will Trac reporters use it? Cheers.
