609136 - Search all add-ons not showing incompatible add-ons

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 581065

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Matthew Galloway]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101024 Firefox/4.0b8pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101024 Firefox/4.0b8pre

The wording (at least in en-US) in the add-ons search field seems counter-intuitive. Tt doesn't show all add-ons that match the given name; it only shows add-ons that are compatible with the current version of FF. 

It would be useful to have some sort of 'fold' that allows users see ALL add-ons regardless of compatibility with the current version.
(An example of such a fold would be similar to Google's "show results similar to the x already shown", such as "X add-ons are compatible with this version of FF, click here to show those that may be incompatible")

This would be useful for users who have the add-on compatibility reporter add-on, or another method of overriding the version specification. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Add-ons manager
2. Search for an add-on that isn't compatible with the latest version (XUL Profiler is a good one) 

Actual Results:  
Incompatible add-ons aren't shown.

Expected Results:  
Incompatible add-ons shown with some kind of warning.
