Quicksearch is a new, experimental feature of the 2.12 release. + It consist of two Javascript files, "quicksearch.js" and "localconfig.js", + and two documentation files, "quicksearch.html" and "quicksearchhack.html" +
The index.html page has been updated to include the QuickSearch text box. +
To take full advantage of the query power, the Bugzilla maintainer must + edit "localconfig.js" according to the value sets used in the local installation. +
Currently, keywords must be hard-coded in localconfig.js. If they are not, + keywords are not automatically recognized. This means, if localconfig.js + is left unconfigured, that searching for a bug with the "foo" keyword + will only find bugs with "foo" in the summary, status whiteboard, product or + component name, but not those with the keyword "foo". +
Workarounds for Bugzilla users: +
| search for '!foo' (this will find only bugs with the keyword "foo" |
| search 'foo,!foo' (equivalent to 'foo OR keyword:foo') |
When this tool is ported from client-side JavaScript to server-side Perl, + the requirement for hard-coding keywords can be fixed. + This bug + has details. +
