274469 - Reports search fields should not default to include duplicates

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Reports search fields should not default to include duplicates

It makes sense that the normal search page searches duplicates as well as open
bugs. However, when you are doing reports you are typically only interested in
the actual bugs that remain open. For example, I want to see the bug loads per
milestone for me and my direct reports, and including duplicates in that table
makes no sense since they don't add to the workload.

Hmm. There's currently only one parameter to define the default query. The only
way to fix this would be to restrict it to the search page, and have no defaults
at all for the report page.

That would probably be OK, but it would require some rearrangement in query.cgi
to decide the format before we decide on the default query, rather than 200+
lines afterwards, as now.

Myk: thoughts?

People seem to be living without this, and it would be non-trivial work.
