Text search within "add related bug" function
When searching for related bugs one cannot even search into the titles of bugs. This then requires a two step process to search for the right bug and then remember the number of the other bug in order to link it.

In general, I would suggest checking out how Unfuddle does their Associated Bug functionality. They use a concept of a directed graph (parents, children, siblings) that makes the relationships associated. eg. two bugs with the same parent are automatically considered siblings.
Also, they allow for creating a bug when looking at another and then associating the new bug to the old. This works especially well because the process of creating a bug is to first search to see if there is already a duplicate open. Often one finds something related, but different. The code that was used to fix the other bug might be useful in fixing the new bug.
