The edit entries page has a filter on the right hand side which allows you to filter by category, status, date etc. There's no way to filter by content (be it in the title or the text), and Carrie's asked for this feature. Her actual bug/feature-lack report is that there is no way for a blog author to search through her entries; just a way for users to do it and then only if the blog author has kept the search for users.
So I started to look into adding the feature. Pretty simple really, standard jump along the tiers adding a new attribute struts code. 4 files or so to change to get the feature added. The problem I've hit is that the filter maps pretty simply onto the getWeblogEntries set of methods, and these are the methods that (quite obviously) are the lynchpin of the whole system. So, do I: a) Blindly add 'String content' pretty much everywhere. b) Create a feature specific part of the system, ie) filterWeblogEntries [possibly with a dynamic filter object instead of a long parameter list] c) Add a separate Search section to the edit-entries page, and hook this up to the Lucene stuff. Any ideas? Hen
