Summary

Since there have been a number of duplicates1 filed recently that checked the boxes but seemingly did not actually follow them (were both duplicates and not on the latest version), try to make it easier to follow the directions and give a bigger notice of them.

Follow-up to #217 (and #259)

Details

Notes to Reviewers

  • The search link is slightly different from the default one in that it will show both open and closed issues. If people are searching, they perhaps did not check the "Closed" tab -- this will make closed issues (like duplicates) show up without additional clicks
  • Unfortunately, even this may still not stop users from ignoring directions or not reading 😕 No way to entirely prevent that unfortunately

- add an intro section both telling and linking to search and the upgrading guide
  - I recently learned you can do this from [Next.js's bug report form](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/caa595ebbeda0f9c463e198b2f551b2ff473dd8e/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1.bug_report.yml?plain=1) and added this [in one of my own repos](https://github.com/agilgur5/react-signature-canvas/blob/f6c0b64cf3416681ba959cdaa4eaf2cb4dd87c5e/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-report.yml?plain=1#L5)

- add links to the two required checkboxes as well that seemingly have been ignored or incorrectly followed
