Description gherlin 2003-09-16 14:18:49 UTC 
Either there is no way to simply browse the issues for "something like my 
problem" or such exists and is very well hidden. 
 
The interface proposed requires the person having a problem to guess a number 
of arbitrary classifications given to a similar problem by an unknown person. 
 
What is really needed in the first line is maybe something like google? 
 
The result will undoubtedly be pollution.

Hi, I just found your issue while looking for a similar problem.

I think that this page gives the sort of easy to use search interface that you
requested:

http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/project_issues.html

What do you think?

It is still way to much information for new users. We want to involve them in
the bug process, so it needs to be easier to find bugs. The mozilla bugzilla has
a simple and advanced search. I would like to see it default to simple and then
those who need it can use the advanced.

I think many people try and give up which is not what we want.

See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=specific

Should be solved with the new bugzilla at Apache. So I close the Issue
