Bug ID: 158301
Summary: Calc Function Wizard: Make searching in descriptions
optional, not forced
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]

In tdf#146781, the search feature of the Function Wizard was enhanced so as to
include the description of the searched-for function as part of the search.
In the same tdf#146781, the possibility to make such expanded search _optional_
was also mentioned, but AFAIU the _optional_ part was never implemented, so the
search _always_ includes the function's description, which generates a longer
list of resulting functions when performing a search.
For experienced users (who might be aware of the function name they are looking
for), the longer resulting list can be (or rather, is) inconvenient.
I would like to request the addition of a check box, perhaps just to the side
of the "Search:" title above the search box, allowing the option to either
include (or not) the description of the functions as part of the search.
Having the check box in the same dialogue and near the search box allows for a
simple intuitive (and easily discover-able) toggle. The relevant text for the
proposed check box would be a simple "Include description of functions" or
"Include functions' description".
An optional helping tool-tip when hovering on such check box (and/or its
corresponding text) would allow a more detailed description of the effect if
it, if needed.
