Details

Bugzilla currently has no way to type in a word or phrase and have it come back with a list of bugs that match that word/phrase. Without this facility, it meant that I've duplicate-reported some bugs by mistake, without realising they'd already been reported. To save on CPU cycles, perhaps only the Summary line needs to be searched, rather than the Description body ? Also, when submitting a bug, there appears to be no mechanism to avoid (or at least warning about the possibility of) duplicate bug reports. Perhaps a keyword system or something would have to be used - if your bug report matches keywords, list those matching bug reports (allowing the user to check them out) as a warning before accepting a new bug report. Or maybe you folks could figure something out better than this, I dunno BTW, why are there no "Bugzilla components" ? I'm forced to choose a component when reporting this bug, but they all look like Mozilla components to me !

OK, fixed. I can't believe how fast it is; I guess 500 bugs is not that many.
The database is being reorganized a bit. Instead of the Bugzilla product, a new Webtools product has been created, with Bugzilla being a component of it. This bug is being moved from the old Bugzilla product to the new Webtools product.
Verified this, has been present a while now, no questions about how.
