Not sure if this is the right place to file this... 

Anyway... People who want to file bugs will not want to go through lists of bugs at http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/bugs#duplicates Instead, it is better to provide a search box to them

Replicate:
0. You want to file a bug report
1. Go to http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/bugs because you want to file a bug

Actual results:
2. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/bugs#duplicates wants you to go through a bunch of component list and bug lists related to those components. You don't want to spend time on that. You're frustrated. 

Expected results: 
2. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/bugs#duplicates provides a search box for you to enter links, keywords and whatever. you search for the string, find your dupe, be happy. 

Reproducible: Always

I agree about adding a search field. I never got an answer in bug 319044 comment 2, so this may be a duplicate; but right now it isn't.

While this bug 364665 and Bug 319044 are both for www.mozilla.org/support/xxx/bugs web pages, they are for two different products. This bug 364665 for Firefox and Bug 319044 for Thunderbird.
