105295 - query should show closed duplicate bugs that have the main/parent bug open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 24957

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Daniel Mota Leite]

the sumary usually is limited to some words and there are many diferent ways for
naming bugs

one of the main reason that people post dupes is because they cant find the open
bug because they are using the "wrong" words that arent in the sumary

one option turn on by default would search the dupes bugs(all states?!) too, but
instead of showing all dupes bugs, it would show up only dupes that have their
main /parent bug is still open
so if one bug have many definitions, dupes will popup, but stop after the main
and the dupes have all the words combinations in their sumary
if reporters cant find the main bug because of the "wrong" words, they will find
it in the closed "open" dupes, and the dupe will point to the main open bug
