Bug Description
If you look at https:/
1- The page titles are so harshly truncated that you cannot distinguish the pages without opening them eg
>> Bug #320049 in Launchpad Bazaar Integration: “Show merge proposal ...
Show merge proposal what?? Show it a good time? :-)
(This is exacerbated by that project having a long name, but it's not exceptionally long.)
2- The page snippets tend to include boilerplate text and therefore be unuseful, eg
"You are not the bug assignee nor the maintainer of Launchpad Bazaar Integration, and therefore cannot "
"Link to CVE"
"To post a comment you must log in. ..."
"Link another branch"
"Link to CVE"
""Diogo Matsubara on 2008-10-15 ..."
"(permalink) ..."
repeated many times.
None of that is helpful in deciding whether I want to look at this page or not, and none of it is what I searched for.
Maybe this could be improved by feeding a more pithy form of the page to the search indexer.
