121762 - bug search / query should return results in order of accuracy / most matching keywords

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 145588

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Michael Wardle]

When I perform a bug query, the results are ordered by bugzilla bug number.  It
would be far more useful if I could search for several keywords, and have
bugzilla list the bugs with the most matching keywords first, down to those with
only one matching keyword last.  Ordering within those groups would also need to
be decided (I think "Importance"/Priority would be best.)  I'm pretty sure this
is how many internet search engines (such as Altavista) function (100% relevance
-> 1% relevance).

This would make it much easier to see if there's a duplicate bug existing before
filing a new one, without needing to scroll thru hundreds of bugs.

I suppose this is doable by returning a boolean column for each word matched.

Isn't this a duplicate (or could it be made a duplicate) of bug 145588?

clearing target for duplicate/worksforme/wontfix/invalid so they'll show up as
untriaged if they get reopened.
