497319 - "DOM Inspector" shows up in autocomplete multiple times

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Collections, defect, P3)

Description

[Dave Garrett]

Go to create a new collection and type "DOM Inspector" into the "Add-on name" box. The autocomplete box comes up with 4 entries:
DOM Inspector
DOM Inspector
DOM Inspector - Mac OS X
DOM Inspector Linux

There is just the one add-on so I'm not sure what this is. (one for each OS version?)

There are actually 4, but 3 aren't compatible with Firefox it seems.

If they're not compatible with Firefox, then they shouldn't be shown when creating a Firefox collection.

They should only show up here, then:

(and not the one for Firefox)

CCing davedash so he is aware of this use case when doing the search stuff for auto-complete.

davedash does search so good these days I'm sure this is fixed.

Nope. Just retested on production and preview. Same results.

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Collections aren't app-specific anymore (the 'add to collection' dropdown on list and details pages shows all), so the search offers you all matching add-ons independent from the supported targetApplications.

This is true and makes this bug a wontfix.
