RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 125888

Details

The comments that say "Bug xxx has been marked a duplicate of this bug." should include the summary of the duplicate bug so full text searches (bug 145588) can take advantage of the "fund of synonyms" (quoting Gerv) in duplicate bug summaries.
I disagree with the reason, if perhaps not the idea :-) Full text searches should be discouraged, because they are resource intensive and, when the searcher doesn't know exactly what they are doing, will usually produce 0 hits or a very large number. As my original mail on this subject said, searching of duplicate bug summaries is best achieved by including summaries of duplicate bugs in your search :-) Gerv
Actually full text searches produce better results using fewer resources than our current searching techniques. See bug 145588 and the following URL for more info. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html
The User Interface component now belongs to Gerv. Reassigning all UNCONFIRMED and NEW (but not ASSIGNED) bugs currently owned by Myk (the previous component owner) to Gerv.

Reassigning back to Myk. That stuff about Gerv taking over the User Interface component turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.
