369079 - Allow placeholders in email address searches

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 542239

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Now we have shared queries, it should be possible to use placeholders in queries relating to people involved with the bug, such that the query returns different results for different people. E.g. (using pseudo-URLs to demonstrate the idea):

buglist.cgi?assigned_to=_me_&bug_status=ASSIGNED

This could be shared as a query "Bugs assigned to me" and would work correctly for anyone who ran it. (We could use _me_, $me, %me% or whatever.)

This feature already exists, the possible values are "%reporter%", "%assignee%", "%qacontact%" and "%user%". See e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=ASSIGNED&field0-0-0=assigned_to&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=%25user%25 . It only works with the boolean charts, however.

Oh - cool :-) Can we make it work for the standard email query UI? 

The most common use case is the %user% one - I can't see much demand for people regularly wanting to search for bugs where the assignee is the same as the QA contact. If we only did that one, I'd be happy.
