Abstract
Bug reporting is an uncoordinated process that is often the cause of redundant workload in triaging and fixing bugs due to many duplicated bug reports. Furthermore, quite often, same bugs are repeatedly reported as users or testers are unaware of whether they have been reported from the search query results. In order to reduce both the users and developers' efforts, the quality of search in a bug tracking system is crucial. However, all existing search functions in a bug tracking system produce results with undesired relevance and ranking. Hence, it is essential to provide an effective search function to any bug tracking system.
