Fedora developers want to hear about specific and reproducible bugs that happen when you use Fedora Linux, but it does not help to have the same bug reported many times.
You can help to get more bugs fixed faster by checking duplicate reports before filing a new bug.

Fedora developers want to hear about specific and reproducible bugs that happen when you use Fedora Linux, but it does not help to have the same bug reported many times. You can help to get more bugs fixed faster by checking duplicate reports before filing a new bug.
Commonly encountered bugs can be found:
* On the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/duplicates.cgi?sortby=count&reverse=1&product=Fedora&maxrows=100&changedsince=7[most frequently reported bugs] list
* On the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/Common[Common Bugs] page
For Rawhide bugs, linked from a https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Trackers[Blocker or Target Tracker]
* On the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/Common[Common Bugs] page for Rawhide bugs, linked from a https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Trackers[Blocker or Target Tracker]
If your bug isn't in the lists above, you can use xref:bugzilla/query.adoc[Bugzilla's search tool] to find matching bugs.
== What to do with duplicates once found
If you are a triager or package maintainer, set the bug that has less information to the CLOSED status with a resolution of DUPLICATE, and add the bug number of the bug with the best information.
This may very well mean closing a lower-numbered bug and keeping a higher-numbered one open—that's fine.

If you do not have permissions to change bugs you have not reported, add a comment to both bugs pointing out the duplication and someone else will mark them appropriately.

Bugzilla lets you search for bug reports that match specified conditions. This page covers common options. The https://bugzilla.redhat.com/docs/en/html/using/index.html[Red Hat Bugzilla User Guide] has more information.

== Simple queries
The https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi?format=specific[simple Bugzilla query form] does a relatively simple keyword search.
Enter a word or short phrase that identifies the problem you saw as uniquely as possible in the Summary field.
Examples: "view source", "auto proxy", "drag drop", "png image".
Enter a word or short phrase that identifies the problem you saw as uniquely as possible in the Summary field. Examples: "view source", "auto proxy", "drag drop", "png image".
== Advanced queries
The https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi?format=advanced[advanced Bugzilla query form] looks dauntingly complex.
While it is complex and powerful, you can safely ignore most of the form.
Any part of the form that is left blank does not limit the search.
Each part that is filled in cuts the list of bugs down to only those that match the criteria you set.

Any part of the form that is left blank does not limit the search. Each part that is filled in cuts the list of bugs down to only those that match the criteria you set.
The Status field is set by default to find NEW, ASSIGNED, NEEDINFO, and MODIFIED bugs—the unfixed bugs (or in the case of MODIFIED the recently fixed bugs).
In the product field, you should always use "Fedora", "Fedora EPEL", or "Fedora Container Images".
In the component field, select the source package that contains the defect.
See the xref:bugzilla/correct-component.adoc[finding the correct component] for help.

If you enter more than one word and they are not a phrase, change the type of matching for the Summary field from *contains the string* to *contains all of the words/strings* or *contains any of the words/strings*, as appropriate.

Fedora generally doesn't make use of keywords in Bugzilla, so you won't usually need to use this.
Keywords are specific tags, not arbitrary words.
If you try to search for keywords that are not on the list, it won't work.

you can mark a spam comment as private
