+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of bug 500576 +++

Bug 500576 fixed the duplicate list, but I think search below the duplicate list at "If your bug isn't there, search Bugzilla ..." is still hitting product=Core rather than Mailnews Core.  Note, I haven't thoroughly researched this to prove my assertion to be true. I was only just reminded of this issue yesterday, when someone pointed out to me that he failed to find a matching bug before creating a new one.

Purely for reference purposes, Bug 500576 reads "We have exceptions for the list of duplicates that's shown in the guided for while filing Firefox and Thunderbird bugs, which is nice, except that because the exceptions date back a billion years, what they do is add hot SeaMonkey bugs to the list. That means that when someone loads the form, they first get a list of "hot bugs" that are mostly six or eight year old Suite bugs. Instead, Thunderbird+MailNews Core and Firefox+Toolkit(+Core?) would be better choices."
Attached patch Fix v.1Splinter Review
Untested, as usual. Doesn't seem to be much point in including the product PSM, since there is no product PSM.

Note that the results will still be total crap, since a format=simple search for only bugs created in the last 6 months is rarely going to be what's needed. On the bright side, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy about duplicates: every 6 months plus 1 day, someone searches, fails to find a bug that was actually reported in 2001, fails to find any of the duplicates that were filed more than 6 months ago, files a duplicate, gets lectured when he doesn't deserve it, and then for the next 6 months people using the guided form can find his duplicate until the cycle starts again.
