Michal, please give the URL of a search you did, and an example of an irrelevant result from that search (i.e. a bug report that was returned and shouldn't have been). Without that, it's hard to tell what the problem is.
(I also don't know what you mean by "there is only one project". There are currently 2614 projects registered in Launchpad, of which 693 have bug reports.) |

Thank you for that example. |

description |
The search in bugs section does not offer any options, and whatever is put in, it produces loads of irrelevant results. I suspect it uses or on terms which means one cannot ever get any specific result. One word is too broad, mutiple wors even broader.
The only option is to search one project or all projects. Since there is only one project I do not find this very helpful. |
If you issue general bug search on "launchpad plugin firefox":
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=launchpad+plugin+firefox&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=
It returns about a dozen of results. The bug that is actually filed against the firefox-launchpad-plugin package is at the bottom. Searching for something in a more mainstream package would be quite useless (ie firefox crash).
Looking at some of the top results reveals that some (all?) of the keywords are present in a comment that contains apt output dump. These spam comments have two properties:
- are very long
- match *many* keywords
Perhaps some heuristic could be applied that sorts them lower in the list. |
