I'm not so sure of that. I *always* search the closed bugs also. You
can often
find similar issues, or possibly something that was just closed... If
the
user isn't constantly updating their installed software, they may be
running
into a bug that was already closed as resolved in a recent release.
It's a general guideline that the default search request
should turn up *everything* that's possibly relevant. Yes, it's bad
to get 50 items, 5 of which are relevant, but it's much worse to get
0 items when 7 are relevant... The latter is what you often see on
site-specific search engines because people set the defaults too
tight; people are so used to getting 0 results when they do a search
on a site that they often don't even try search features embedded in a
site.
As for the problem of open vs. closed bugs, there is a simple
answer...
(i) Have a display, either on top or on the side, that says
something like
13 bugs unassigned
17 bugs assigned
104 bugs resolved
...
people can click on the link to be directed to just a list of bugs
with the above status.
Can you file a RFE against bugzilla and let me know the report number?
