The results from these two searches is NULL. i also read the chapter 6 entitled "Using Bugzilla". there is no information about the use or purpose of Cloning a Bug, the effect cloning will have on a bug database, the result of closing the Parent Bug on the the cloned Child bug, etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.down load the Bugzilla Guide - 2.20.2 Release in PDF format 2.use the binocular tool from Adobe's reader with the words "clone" and "cloning". 3. the search results will be null. Expected Results: some explanation in the Bugzilla Guide about "Cloning" and its intended purpose(s)

That's true--there's lots of features that don't have documentation. We could use some volunteer assistance there! :-)

Comment on attachment 246450 [details] [diff] [review] docs patch for tip Oh, actually, make the section title "Cloning Bugs".

Lots of lines got 2 more spaces as indentation, so diff sucks due to white-space-ing issues.
