Summary: search commit messages

Initial Comment:
hgk (stripped from tortoisehg) provided the feature of searching the commit 
messages, for example to find the changeset which contains 'bugfix 0815'. 

I was suprised to see that there is no such feature in tortoisehg and that the 
datamining dialog searches file contents only.

Please implement such a feature into thg or continue packaging hgk.

Jens

Technically, it's two ways to do two [different] things. The filter dialog
filters. The GtkTreeView gotos.

Yup. the FAQ would be a good place to mention the GtkTreeView search.

The 'Custom Filter' menu is actually just an indicator that user has
applied custom filtering on the revlist through the Filter dialog, instead
of a regular menu like others. It is indeed a little unclear why it's
grayed out. Perhaps the rather uncommon MenuToolButton widget used on
Filter also partially contributes to the confusion - some users probably
get distracted by the drop-down menu, overlooking the fact the it's also a
ToolButton that we can click on.

I think you suggestion might work. Let me think about it a bit more.
Thanks.

So there are even two ways to achieve what I wanted. Nice!
Maybe the not-obvious GtkTreeView way could be documented in some
help/FAQ?

Regarding the filter dialog and opening it: I always only clicked on the
drop-down-arrow on the right of the filter toolbutton and expected it to
provide every available option. I noticed that 'custom filter' might be
what I wanted, but it is inactive (grey). Maybe it should be active and
open the filter dialog? Or is it really for something not-yet-implemented?

However, there should be an entry which opens the available filter
dialog.

BTW, you can also use GtkTreeView's rather hidden search feature to find
the keyword in the summary, author and rev fields. Just click to select on
any revision in the revlist window, then start typing your search string.
You might want to show all revisions before you start the search, since the
search only applies to the revisions added to the revlist window.

We will eventually need a better search support. Anyone?

Click on the Filter toolbutton to bring up the Filter dialog. Click on
'Search Filter' to activate the search fields. Enter search strings in
'Keyword(s)' field and press enter (or click on the Apply button. There's a
bug in this keyword search though, I've not doubt you will discover soon
;-)

Before you start asking, there are a few enhancements I've wanting to add
into the filter dialog. Let see if yours might fall within my anticipation.
;-)
