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. -
