337224 - Addons search/navigation horrible to use now - big previews, no alphabetical ordering

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[aaa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

I am looking for a particular extension ("Next" - lets CTRL+Arrow go to next search results page) and I cannot find it, because:
1) Extensions now shown with full page previews
2) Extension names not sorted

Love firefox, love everthing else you guys do, but have to say "WTF?" with respect to the new addons site. Just want a long list of addon names, maybe a few words about what they do, sorted by alphabetical order so I have a fighting chance of finding an extension I know is there. And ability to see 20, 50, 100 on one page. I want what was there before in other words. I didn't use to have any problems finding and browsing extensions in the past.

Reproducible: Always

Try the "show options" button next to the search my friend ;) There's a "sort by name" option in there, aswell as the ability to pick how many addons per page of results.

https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?app=firefox&type=E&appfilter=1&sort=name&perpage=50

It's is the developer's responsibility to keep their addon details appropriately sized. They also have the "developer comments" field to write stuff in, which won't appear on the search page.

Marking this INVALID, because you clearly aren't using the advanced search options. If you disagree with this, please feel free to reopen the bug.
