Matt Gilman commented on NIFI-1115:
-----------------------------------
A couple more things to consider...
1) The processor description shown in the new processor dialog was never
intended to support lengthy values. Detailed information is meant for the Usage
guide. Maybe we need to add support for linking to the Usage from there? This
doesn't mean that we don't support lengthy descriptions we just need to
establish how to best handle them.
2) What gives me hesitation, is that we are filtering the table using a field
that's not in the table. The description is only visible when a particular
Processor type is selected. As I mentioned previously, overflowed text doesn't
necessarily bother me. This is already the behavior in this table (and others
throughout the application). However, filtering by a field not shown in the
table would be unique.

> We currently use tokens from processor names and processor tags to aid in
> searching for processors in the add dialogue. A user brought up a great
> point that we should also tokenize the descriptions as they often have useful
> words that aren't reflected in the tags. Perhaps we should also consider
> stop/skip words here too.
