Bugzilla Notes(Search)

Fredy emailed me again with more information this time on effectively searching on Bugzilla so I'll summarize that here. Basically there are four different types of search on Bugzilla available on the tabs at the top once you click the search button(magnifying glass).

• Simple search is what it sounds like, you simply type in some words related to the bug and it will search the website but you are also given a few other options like the product(ex. Firefox) and status(ex. open or closed).
• Instant search is even simpler because only the search bar and product are displayed.
• Advanced search is full of many more filters including classification, product, component, status, and resolution. Also you can select multiple filters by holding ctrl and clicking on different ones.
• Google search is just using the google search engine to search on Bugzilla. You would get the same results if you typed in Google "<words> site:bugzilla.mozilla.org"
• It's also possible to save searches for future use.

Also, I won't be working on BuddyUp for quite awhile because apparently the developer is on vacation but I may be working on other stuff for the QA program.
