250705 - Have editproducts display a managable subset of all the products

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task, P3)

Description

[Joel Peshkin]

As sites use large numbers of products, editproducts' initial list becomes
unmanagable.  Probably, the best way to manage this is to display an initial box
(like editusers does) with a regexp for the product name.

Although I understand the theoretical need for this, does someone really need
this? Even if he/she does, is it worth implementing? If 5% of installations have
that many products, isn't a regexp search a bit too large a gun?

(this is a first impression, not a final opinion)

[Joel Peshkin]

Could be, but we need something

either we could only have this ask for the regexp if there are more than 40
groups to start with or we could have a param to control it.

Ideas??

Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004.  Anything flagged
enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out.  If this bug is
otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the
blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.

"Find In Page" solves this problem, surely?
