Re: Perl bug DB web interface

Richard,

Glad to hear about your rewrite.  We are looking for a bug tracking system
and the interface appears to have most of the features we're interested
in.

One big thing it's missing appears to be the ability to search the body of
the message.  I've had  some experience with bug tracking across large
projects and the subject field is just too small you get a lot of false
negatives.  I'd suggest introducing a synopsis field that was also
serachable.
