#1749 RFE - Improve the search field to look at other criteria other than than the title
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago Opened 7 years ago by mreynolds.

Currently the search field only searches on Issue titles. There is no way to specify things like Issue description or the comments in an issue.

It would also be nice to have a way to search meta-data fields(standard and custom). Perhaps this is something that can be added to the project settings page.


I filed a duplicate bug because of this.

Before I filed #1743 I searched for 'modified'. It's in the description of #1662, but not the title.

Resurrecting this old ticket because it's on-topic to what I wanted to report.

There are many more available search criteria now, which is really great. Unfortunately I'm still running into things I'd like to search/filter by but can't. What I'm personally missing are searches by:

  • ticket contents - Currently it only appears to search the ticket title but not the contents.
  • resolution/closure status - It is very useful to find things which were closed as invalid, for example.

resolution/closure status - It is very useful to find things which were closed as invalid, for example.

I have some code to do this (PR incoming)

@ryanlerch do you have any suggestion on how to do this part best in the UI:

ticket contents - Currently it only appears to search the ticket title but not the contents.

Thanks :)

After some poking around I'm inclined to support searching in the comments using content:<keyword>in the search field.
It's not very discoverable but since it's doing a ILIKE query against all the comments on the project, it's quite heavy on the database and thus I'd prefer if people do not abuse it. I will be adding it to: https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/tips_tricks.html tough.

How does that sound?
