More than lumping all open rhel+fedora+fedora-legacy into the same single query box. Which is more relevant to a user of fedora's current release... rhel bugs or closed fc4 bugs? The single search box for all of the "product" definitions in bugzilla makes ill-fitting assumptions about relevancy in an effort to shoehorn all the products in the same single text box. I think perhaps making it easy to add closed reports for a specific release into an updated results list without having to go through the full advanced query interface would make it a smoother process. Make it easier to refine a query inside the result list page. Make it clear that the default query box searches all open bugs in all "product" release get list A of open tickets for rhel+fedora Core+fedora legacy+whatever Then in ui that hangs around list A make it easy to narrow the search to a specific product "rhel OR fedora OR whatever" and add closed bugs back in into the result...without invoking the full advanced search UI. > Then reopen it asking for an update against the current release or file > another bug report asking for a fix or better yet provide a patch > depending on the severity of the bug.

Users using the default search box who are searching for already reported bugs filed against the release they are using which have been closed rawhide are unfortunately mislead to believe that the bug has not been reported yet.. unless they take the extra effort to do the non-default query and include rawhide resolved bugs. Nor do they see any subsequent dupes of that bug which get filed and marked as dupes. Having multiple "normal" users refile the same bug again and again to be marked as a duplicate again again against the rawhide resolved bug they don't see in the default search ui is just a waste of time. > I dont see this as improvement > that affects triaging. Do you want to limit the duplicate filing of already closed bugs or do you want to encourage the filing of duplicates to already closed bugs? I understand the value of duplicate bug reports for open bugs, as tool to guage the extent of occurance of hard to reproduce or hardware specific problems. But I am unsure of the value of setting up a default search bug which delibrately hides rawhide resolved bugs and encourages people to refile bugs which have already been marked rawhide resolution. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
