There are many times you would want to search for a bug, say with a class name / stack trace. Using Bugzilla for this kind of searches is really painful. First the UI that it presents is not an elegant one (esp. if you are used to one single text box of Google) and then its very slow. It would have been much better if our Bugzilla allows Search Engines to index, but its still a work in progress. Meanwhile, Gunnar Wagenknecht has come up with an incubation project that allows searching the bugzilla. It just features one text box as opposed to the Bugzilla:
and you can type in the Bug Number or key words (like 'About Dialog') or a class name and search. Results are usually within a second. Whats even more nice is the right side bar, which has a tag-clouds-style attributes of the bug:
Click on the items and it will filter your results accordingly:
If you use Bugzilla frequently, this is very effective tool and I strongly recommend you to try it.
