John Wise commented on NIFI-5993:
---------------------------------
[~Chris.Metzger] - It's definitely still occurring. If you pause typing for a
few seconds, the search mechanism kicks in, which then slows down additional
text entry.
NiFi search, in general, is fairly utilitarian and not at all useful for
finding anything other than text strings in a few places (uuids, titles,
attributes & attribute values). Also, the inability to limit *where* (ie.
current process group or current & below) the search is performed is very
frustrating and limiting. Case-sensitive searching is also needed, as we have
had instances where people mistakenly changed case on an attribute name & broke
flows. See NIFI-8358 for more details.
> NiFi text search improvment
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-5993
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5993
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core UI
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Nimrod Avni
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: nifi, search, ui
>
> The NiFi textual search on all the components in the canvas has some big
> issues
> The searching refreshes every time you type in a new letter, since the NiFi
> canvas can get very big quickly, the searching takes up a lot of time and
> resources. I had more then a few times where i typed in 2 letters and made my
> chrome tab crash. I had to resort to typing what i want to search in a
> notepad and copying it to to search box to avoid it searching every time i
> type in a new letter.
> I think it can be resolved by better textual indexing or potentially making
> the search box do an "on demand" search, where the user clicks the search
> button or the enter key to start the search.
