Req #62403 [NEW]: limit duplicate by adding a instant search in the bug report's form

From: perdrisat at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:limit duplicate by adding a instant search in the bug report's form Description: ------------ Apparently half of the bugs are duplicate or not a bug... I think this can partially solve by improving the bug report system. We need to search and display similar bugs when the user try to make a new one. One of the best example is certainly http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask Now we can of making a search after the submit... when the user already spend time to write is report. Also the page is not very clear because their is no title like "similar bug report, please avoid duplicate" Expected result: ---------------- - (user) got to https://bugs.php.net/report.php - (user) write the title of the bug report - (system) Do a (ajax) search and show a short list of similar bug report (possible duplicate) right under the title. - (user) look if is bug is a new one - (user) submit if he think it's a new or cancel if it's a duplicate. Actual result: -------------- - (user) got to https://bugs.php.net/report.php - (user) write the title of the bug report - (user) write the bug report - (user) submit -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62403&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62403&r=mysqlcfg
