767011 - Add Tiny URL Option for Search Requests

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 473426

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[James Simmons]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.52 Safari/536.5

Steps to reproduce:

Filled out search criteria, ran the search, copied the url and sent it to someone.


Actual results:

The address was REALLY long and I had to use tineyurl.com to get a shorter address.


Expected results:

It would be nice to have the ability to create a short url that can then be sent to others instead of sending a page-size link.

Example: bugzilla.mydomain.com/buglist.cgi?shortlink="123ASD"

Instead of (this example is a lot shorter than normal because I didn't want to clutter the bug):
