This may partly be due to the fact that you can't easily search for some plain text that exists anywhere in the request -- you have to search for "TITLE contains foo or DESCRIPTION contains foo". In many requests the main information is in the title and there is no description, and in others the title is incomprehensible or incomplete and the main information is in the description. And if you want to search for requests containing "inspection" or "analysis", you need to search for "TITLE contains inspection or DESCRIPTION contains inspection or TITLE contains analysis or DESCRIPTION contains analysis". My suggestions would be: (1) Add a pseudo-field "anywhere in request", or at least "title or description" as described in <URL:http://www.intellij.net/tracker/itn/viewSCR?publicId=346>. Apparently something like this is already planned (<URL:http://www.intellij.net/tracker/itn/viewSCR?publicId=246>). (2) Add a simple search function to the request list. Don't make us: * Click SEARCH * Wait for a new web page to be loaded * Select "based on [nothing]" * Select "title" (or "title or description", or whatever) * Select CONTAINS * Add something to search for Just add a simple text field where we can enter a search term in the main bug list, and use this to search for text anywhere in the request (or at least, in the title or the description). _______________________________________________ Eap-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.jetbrains.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-bugs
