You can do some of this - here's a lookup for all packages with the tag 'patch': http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=tag&data=patch&archive=no&pend-exc=forwarded&pend-exc=pending-fixed&pend-exc=fixed&pend-exc=done&include=patch&exclude=potato&exclude=woody&exclude=sarge&exclude=sarge-ignore&exclude=sid&exclude=experimental&exclude=confirmed&exclude=d-i&exclude=fixed&exclude=fixed-in-experimental&exclude=fixed-upstream&exclude=help&exclude=l10n&exclude=moreinfo&exclude=pending&exclude=security&exclude=unreproducible&exclude=upstream&exclude=wontfix&exclude=ipv6&exclude=lfs (again, bad wrap, sorry) But I agree, being able to search the body of the bugs for some text string would be nice. I think robots.txt is set to keep spiders out, so google shouldn't be indexing the bts. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
