Has this bug been reported?
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...

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.

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. Learning to rank (LTR) is a supervised machine learning technique that is used to construct a ranking model from training data. We propose a novel approach by using LTR to search for potentially related bug reports in a bug tracking system. Our method uses a set of proposed features of bug reports and queries.
