Bug Description
I will provide a specific bug here so please don't mark this as invalid.
The launchpad search does not provide natural and useful results in all cases. For example if i want to report or view bugs in ebox. I will search for ebox. ---> https:/
The first result is for
* eBox platform (Unspecified)
The link i actually want would contain information that would be useful to me as a user. This page https:/
So to fix this i suggest that-> the interface show on a results for a search important information for users. So if extra information was added to the ebox search results / the first page the user will see that says "ebox" but then will show links to other areas on the site where ebox is important within a context (it is a package in ubuntu for example) .. this would be a fix. (for this specific search result).
Essentially the search results should provide a result that aggregates USEFUL hits. Launchpad should also aggregate bug information or provide links to where bugs *are* reported elsewhere on the site.
Moving this bug report to the Launchpad Registry project (though it might straddle both that and Launchpad Foundations) since the main search isn't part of the bug tracker project.
