324402 - Saved searches should be available from a menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

We should find a way to display saved searches in a menu at the top of each page or like bookmarks. I have around 30 saved searches, and even if the checkin of bug 206425 will help a lot, it's still not enough.

What I would like is something like:

Saved Searches
      |
      |- Bugzilla
      |     |
      |     |- open blockers
      |     |- wanted for 2.20 or 2.22
      |     |- open bugs targetted < 2.22
      |     |- patches awaiting checkin
      |     |- patches awaiting my review
      |     |- open bugs assigned to me
      |
      |- Firefox
      |     |
      |     |- blockers for 1.5.0.1
      |     |- Fx bugs I want to see fixed
      |
      |- Thunderbird
            |
            |- annoying bugs


And please don't tell me I can do that manually!

gandalf, is that something we could/should do using AJAX?

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

yes, It's a nice idea, I'll consider this in the new UI.
Taking. Myk, if you have a plan to work on this in nearest 2 months, mail me please.

The UI at userprefs.cgi?tab=saved-searches will also need to be updated in order to be able to move saved searches in the correct folder/subfolder. No idea what the best approach is. Maybe should we limit ourselves to one level only, i.e. adding folders but no subfolders, as in comment 0. This way the UI should be pretty easy to fix.

This would leave us with the menu itself.

This bug is retargetted to Bugzilla 3.2 for one of the following reasons:

- it has no assignee (except the default one)
- we don't expect someone to fix it in the next two weeks (i.e. before we freeze the trunk to prepare Bugzilla 3.0 RC1)
- it's not a blocker

If you are working on this bug and you think you will be able to submit a patch in the next two weeks, retarget this bug to 3.0.

If this bug is something you would like to see implemented in 3.0 but you are not a developer or you don't think you will be able to fix this bug yourself in the next two weeks, please *do not* retarget this bug.

If you think this bug should absolutely be fixed before we release 3.0, either ask on IRC or use the "blocking3.0 flag".

Re assigning it to me since i have a patch for it

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Bugzilla 3.2 is now frozen. Only enhancements blocking 3.2 or specifically approved for 3.2 may be checked in to the 3.2 branch. If you would like to nominate your enhancement for Bugzilla 3.2, set the "blocking3.2" flag to "?", and either the target milestone will be changed back, or the blocking3.2 flag will be granted, if we will accept this enhancement for Bugzilla 3.2.

You can try Deskzilla (http://almworks.com/deskzilla/) -- it's a desktop client for Bugzilla, which lets you see the tree of saved searches at any moment (yes you can also create new sub-searches that operate with the result of the parent search). It's free for some renown projects (such as Mozilla) and for small Bugzilla installations.

I noticed that this bug is currently blocking bug#325501 (ajax) but shouldn't instead be dependent upon that bug?

Comment 12

[Frédéric Buclin]

We are going to branch for Bugzilla 4.4 next week and this bug is too invasive or too risky to be accepted for 4.4 at this point. The target milestone is set to 5.0 which is our next major release.

I ask the assignee to reassign the bug to the default assignee if you don't plan to work on this bug in the near future, to make it clearer which bugs should be fixed by someone else on time for 5.0.

Saved searches are now available in the dropdown menu of the header’s search bar, so I’d close this bug.
