Or we try to search for a similar one, don't find it, fill up our bug, then somebody tells us there is a duplicate.
I don't think that's a problem... duplicates will happen no matter what you do. It's not a problem for bug triagers to mark them as duplicates, and even doing that gives us useful info --- "this bug happens for N people, so it's important".
Couldn't bugzilla engine try to find similarities before filling the long description field?
That's very hard to do with human-written text :) For bugzilla.gnome.org we have a semi-automatic "duplicated stack trace detector", so that frequent crashers which are reported automatically by bug-buddy can be merged into duplicates easily.
Can I forward this to other lists? I'm thinking of the Spanish list.
