Bug ID: 154818
Summary: Reuse the last search item
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
This report is a sequel of the discussions in Bug 154269, but adding a welcome
enhancement.
When you search for an item, the last searched item is proposed in the Search &
Replace popup window.
However, the Quick find toolbar proposes the last recorded item.
It makes a big difference if you search for an item that has already been used.
The quick find toolbar will trigger the last item it recorded, no matter that
it’s no longer relevant. So if you reuse an older search item, you have to
select it again and again every time you open the quick find toolbar.
To be noted that pressing Ctrl Shift F also uses the last search item.
Heiko Tietze added:
quickfind (ctrl+F) currently does not sort the list if a search item exists. In
fact neither the full search does but it remembers the last search item.
Something like 1,2,A,Z should become A,1,2,Z and 2,A,1,Z if you research for A
and 2 subsequently. And the first item should be picked on show.
Would be nice to not only remember the last item as done in the full search,
eg. 1,2,A,Z -> searching for A keeps the sequence and remembers #2 but should
become A,1,2,Z. And the same for the quickfind. If this is too much effort
remembering the last used item would be acceptable.
⁂
Another quirkiness is that the two lists have some kind of their own list of
items to search. The Find & Replace popup populates its list with items from
the quick search toolbar also, but not the other way. Maybe a common list of
items would be best?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Quick search (Ctrl F) for A
2. Quick search for B
3. Quick search for A
4. Open the quick search again.
5. Compare with the item proposed in the Find & Replace popup (Ctrl H).
Actual Results:
B is proposed in quick find.
A is proposed in Find & Replace.
Expected Results:
A should be proposed to search in the quick find, as it is the most relevant at
the time.
Reproducible: Always
