When naviating to lots of moodle bugs from the CVS commit logs (or similar) it can be a pain to quickly get to specific bug in the tracker.
 
== The solution ==
When using firefox, bookmarks can have keywords added to them, to allow quick searches, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Tips_:_Quick_searches this link] for more detail.
 
Essentially this means you can browse to a specific bug by simply typing the following into the address bar:
 
  m MDL-0001
 
== How to setup ==

* Add a new bookmark to http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/
* Open the properties page on the bookmark you added (this can be achieved by using the bookmark manager)
* Add a keyword which you wish to prefix your search with, I simply chose m ( could chose MDL-, and then insert a space between the - and the bug number to browse to it ;))
* Save that settings
* Start reading bugs with ease!
 
== Firefox Extension I Want! ==
This is a useful feature, but ideally i'd like firefox to automatically bring me to the bug page if I gave it any MDL- address in the address bar ;)
 
== Firefox search plugins ==
There's a new search plugin for Firefox for searching '''Moodle Tracker''' on  http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=moodle.
 
Another option is using the '''Google Moodle''' search plugin from the same URL, which gives you the added advantage of also showing references to your MDL issue number.
