1. This was within a 'simple perl program' outside of RT. I already answered what happens: print $$query results in undefined variable error (because using strict). print $query prints "search term". This is completely independent from ModifyQuery, and as I said, I have tried using BOTH $query and $$query in ModifyQuery and it is not working, in fact SimpleSearch quits working altogether. I got the code from places in the wiki which automagically double scalars. I have done the same thing with the SkipTransaction Callback and it works. http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/SimpleSearchExcludeResolved and you didn't have anything to say in this user's request on why it doesn't do anything either: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/users/98262 which also touches on the $RT::Logger not working in his callback, if I could get that to work, I wouldn't be bothering everyone here. 2. Management wants it this way...they are not going to be searching for queue:General or using any other nice utilities you have put into RT, if they were, they wouldn't mind type fulltext: before the search term. 3. I'll look at the Googleish.pm, but I bet I will have just as many questions...hopefully not. I was putting this in a callback to avoid any conflicts in patching the RT app in the future.

The correct way to do this is to avoid hacking things onto the string (what happens when I use the syntax available to do queue:General, are you going to transform that to fulltext:queue:General?) lib/RT/Search/Googleish.pm has been massively refactored and contains a number of small subroutines available for overriding that affect the way that the default parsing is done. You could do this with in a much less fragile manner by looking at that code and overriding the default parsing one. -kevin -------- RT Training Sessions (http://bestpractical.com/services/training.html) * San Francisco, CA, USA October 18 & 19, 2011 * Washington DC, USA October 31 & November 1, 2011 * Barcelona, Spain November 28 & 29, 2011
