Say what? It most certainly _does_ do fulltext searching, and support for 
multiple projects is quite mature. There is also a quite nice bug 
interdependency system which is very easy to use and quite flexible.

Don't know what power you think is missing. I use both extensively and I 
havent found anything bugzilla can do that mantis can't.

That's a pity, because bugzilla is so cumbersome and obtuse.
