Typically, each one has developed her very own and sometimes ugly fuzzball of information retrieval, which is a feedback loop involving one's own pattern matching and cognitive machinery. A messy affair which ends up being deeply personal (and which sometimes leads to heated discussions, but I disgress ;-) One method I resort to when I'm somewhat desperate (thanks to Debian for setting up the bugs database under an own domain, "bugs.debian.org") is to leverage my favourite search engine's smarts and restricting the search to the site bugs.debian.org. As an URL, for example https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=apt+source+site:bugs.debian.org Typically I use that method to inject some "noise" in my search process when it seems stuck in whatever pockets it can't get out of.
