b.g.o has a list of bugs reported in the last 24 hours or 7 days, so |
| 16 |
seeding the search engine with those would find all bug reports in due |
| 17 |

| 18 |
github) when searching for help on an issue, so there isn't a general |

lack of indexing of bug trackers. |

Having said that, I always use the bgo search first as I find it superior |
| 22 |
to Google's, unlike the forum search engine. |
