Bug Site Search Bar Not Useful

This is a problem I have with this site and not the game, and I fully expect this to be removed for one reason or another. But I have to address it. I find myself quite often posting bugs that end up being duplicates of other already posted. When I look at those posts, more often than not, I see other linked posts marked as duplicates of them, so it can't be just me. In the automatic emails I get from being told this, I'm also told that I need to search for my bugs before I post them. Problem is, I actually do, and even after I'm redirected, I'm never able to find said post with the search bar. This tells me that the search system is flawed, and is most likely the reason why the site gets as many duplicate reports as it does. Again, I do expect this to be removed due to it no being a game problem, or for potential other reasons. But since this is the site in question, I felt I had to address it here.

It has finally been said!!!! Also, you can edit this bug report; change the project category from Bedrock to Mojang Web Services

Helpful to know, if I knew where in the edit section to change it

Oh, I guess you aren't able to change that... well I guess you can create a new report or something

Moved to WEB (from MCPE). As you appear to have difficulty tracking some issues. The new link is: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/WEB-1305

We use the same search function to check if a bug is a duplicate

This has good documentation for advanced searching

Yeah, unfortunately there's not much we can do about the search being rather unintuitive. You just need to learn how to use it. And you don't need to be bummed about creating duplicate tickets – maybe they'll help the next one find the proper ticket more quickly!
