Hi Don, Call me lazy, but it is two clicks away compared to just pasting the error message in the Google search box which is the default on the browsers distributed by Debian. Actually, indexing and searching are not completely equivalent. For instance, I had the following gcc-4.3 error: error: 'strlen' was not declared in this scope If I search the BTS, I find all the similar bugs submitted by Martin, but again, seeing if they are fixed or pending is still a few clicks away. In a Google search, I get a chance to find fixes from other sources. It is just so frustrating that all the Debian bugs that appear in this search originate from those mail-list archives in which it is difficult to get the full thread. Anyway, If I understand correctly, letting Google index the BTS is unsustainable (How about restricting the Googlebot to the http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=Number URL for starting?). So the solution has to be found elsewhere. How about having an easy access to the merkel search service from the browsers that Debian distributes? Also, where can I submit feedback ? The attribute search system is quite unfriendly, maybe it would be easy that for some categories such as status or severity, only the relevant filterse show up (no need for "equal to (Number)").
