All right. I just start using duplicates.xul, and I'm already complaining!
No, for real, I just had a nice idea, but I'm not sure how possible it is,
because I'm not all that familiar with XUL.
What I would like is a "narrow-down search" box on the page somewhere. It
wouldn't query Bugzilla, it would just query the already-returned results. As I
type, it would perform a search on the summaries for what I was typing.
For example, let's say that I have these summaries in my pane:
"Bugzilla is cool, I like this duplicates.xul"
"Bugzilla is sweet"
"This zilla thing confuses me"
"Moz = br0k3n, j0"
"I think that there's a bug in some software somewhere"
Typing "Bug" in the box (without quotes) would narrow it down to:
"Bugzilla is cool, I like this duplicates.xul"
"Bugzilla is sweet"
"I think that there's a bug in some software somewhere"
Typing "zilla" in the box (without quotes) would narrow it down to:
"Bugzilla is cool, I like this duplicates.xul"
"Bugzilla is sweet"
"This zilla thing confuses me"
In addition, if you threw something like this up on a bug list view, it might
ease some load off of the query engine, because people could query their own
lists client-side.

There's a XUL service for doing this (used in Mozilla MailNews, Phoenix
bookmarks, and some other places), but I couldn't get it to work the last time I
tried it for duplicates.xul. Perhaps I'll have better luck next time, or
perhaps you'd be interested in having a go at it.

Hrm. Maybe I'll have a go at it. It would be an interesting project. Of course,
I'd have to learn XUL, but that can't be _all_ that hard.

I'm not working on this. I can't imagine Myk is. -M
