365670 - dependency tree should let me restrict by an arbitrary query

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement, P5)

Description

[timeless]

speaking with a coworker about how trees might be used for requirements, it turns out that we'd like to be able to restrict (filter) by:

classification, product, component, version, milestone, keywords, flags, assignee.

at this point, that's basically most of the query page. but it should fit on a single page:

+------------------------+
| Filter                 |
| <query form goes here> |
|                        |
| ---------------------- |
| Dependency             |
| Graph or Tree          |
|                        |
|                       v|
+------------------------+

I'm pretty sure we don't really want arbitrary queries, presumably it's basically just the fields listed above, probably quicksearch style. note that it should be possible to include or exclude by any of the above. so not just "product is X or Y" but also "product is not A or B".

Actually, you could already do this. "View As Bug List," and then "Edit Search."
