Bug #17775 Updated: bug search page is counterproductive

ID: 17775 Updated by: adam@adeptsoftware.com Reported By: adam@adeptsoftware.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: NA PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: A similar bug could exist in a "closed" or "bogus" state. It's obvious to some that if you're searching for duplicates you want to search ALL bugs, not just ones that haven't been looked at yet. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-16 08:01:27] goba@php.net It's default is open, because we encourage guys submitting bug reports to search for similar bugs before submitting the report. It's obvious that the default then should be Open, and not All... BTW the other user group of the bug system, the "bug hunters" also search in open bug reports, they are not interested in other types most of the time IMHO...

It won't even search for "phrases in quotes". Also, one of the main points of the bug search page is avoiding duplicates. To that end, the "status" box should default to "all" not "open". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17775&edit=1
