[Reportbug-maint] Bug#624838: reportbug: need full-text search of bug reports

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: reportbug
Version: 5.1
Severity: wishlist


I had bug 624781 closed with the implication being that I should have
found bug 624145. However, the search of bugs using the 'f' command in 
reportbug only searches the subject line of bug reports. 

A full-text search option for all existing bugs for the same package
would help in such cases.
