62718 - Should have a way to search by number of CC:

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1546717

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Cesar Eduardo Barros]

If lots of people add themselves (or are added) to the CC: field of a bug, this
means the bug has lots of interest (sort of another kind of voting). So
searching by the number of items in the CC: field would be useful.

Currently (as far as I tested), CC:/greater than/50 (for instance) has no
meaning in the boolean chart, which means it could be used as a way to do it
(without adding extra clutter to the query form).

[Jesse Ruderman]

See also bug 65370, which would include the ability to show the number of cc's 
as a column on the search result page.

-> Bugzilla product, Query component, reassigning.

Comment 3

[Andreas Franke (gone)]

Maybe this can be generalized for all lists, not just CC?
(possible fields are e.g. keywords, dependson, blocks, maybe even attachments)

Comment 4

[Tobias B. Besemer [:BesTo] (QA)]

Is this a dup of Bug #65370 ???

*** Bug 324478 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Attachment: You can now search by CC count in the boolean search and have CC count as a column in the search results

Comment 7

[LegNeato]

I think this fixes bug 65370 as well...

[LegNeato]

This is failing xt/search.t, but I'm pretty sure it's just the tests & test harness that need to be altered. I'll deal with it more later.

Comment 10

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

I'm pretty sure that this will now be possible using code similar to the code in bug 26074.

Comment 11

[LegNeato]

Attachment: You can now search by CC count in the boolean search and have CC count as a column in the search results, updated to trunk

Previous patch, updated to latest trunk (no functional changes)

Comment 12

[LegNeato]

Still failing tests, need to see what is going on. May change it to be more like bug 26074.

Comment 13

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Yeah, the only way to make the tests pass while still performing reasonably is to exactly duplicate the bug 26074 code.

Comment 14

[LegNeato]

Yup, I have done that now, just working through the tests to get them all passing...the setup/config is a little opaque.

Comment 15

[Javier Jardón]

Hi, any plans to integrate this in bugzilla 4.2?

Comment 16

[MartinSchroeder]

I second Javier's question.

[Andre Klapper]

christian@legnitto: Are you still working on the patch? Any updates to share? Having this functionality would provide another "popularity" data source, besides votes (if enabled) and duplicates.cgi.

Comment 18

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

FWIW you can add cc_count (and dupe_count) as part of an extension with later versions of Bugzilla. We do that for BMO already but doesn't support advanced searching yet but could be added easily.

http://git.mozilla.org/?p=webtools/bmo/bugzilla.git;a=blob;f=extensions/BMO/Extension.pm;h=7e5dac5ef0b0e2059ac6ccb7e0a334d6bf72fc84;hb=refs/heads/4.2#l1179 [github]

If people agree, I could do this as part of the core code and submit a patch for review when I can.

October 2015 Update:
--------------------

Does anyone know what the current status of this functionality is?

Per Comment 11, this functionality had been merged into the latest trunk.

Per Comment 14, however, it seemed Christian still needed to adapt it to pass all of the required tests.

I am assuming things dropped off there?

Comment 20

[LegNeato]

I am not working on it anymore.

Comment 21

[Kohei Yoshino]

Bug 1546717 is moving cc_count and dupe_count to the core along with several other count fields.
