Description Marcus Moeller 2013-06-14 06:55:48 UTC

I have created a bugreport:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=971100

and used the 'Possible Duplicates' function to check for already existing reports.

There has been a bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=891044

which was not displayed in this view, even if it's a clear duplicate. It has the same component and even a similar title.

It would be great if duplicates like these would be shown, too.

Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2013-06-14 07:43:30 UTC

Bugzilla only checks for the title of the bug and in this case, both bugs just share the string "1.1.0", that is 5 characters, while 19 are different. I doubt one can write a matching logic for that and not overload the server with database queries.

Anyway, as this is hardly a bug but a feature request and not specific to Red Hat's bugzilla instance, I suggest you file a report upstream.
