Description Andrew Burrow 2003-04-15 11:00:28 UTC
The Keywords system for bookmarks is great, except you
missed the extension/intension dual.

If you are going to attach multiple keywords to a
bookmark, then you should be able to select multiple
keywords in the search system.  For example, if keywords
A, B, and C are selected, then the search returns just
those bookmarks containing at least A, B, and C.

This does not clutter the interface at all. It just
requires that SHIFT and CTRL click work as they do 
in multi-selection lists.  The affordance is already
there.

With this feature the number of keywords required
would drop drastically.  For example, "Gnome", "Audio",
and "News" generates at least the categories "News in general",
"Audio News", "Gnome News", "Gnome Audio", and
"Gnome Audio News".

Thanks

Having multiple selection in the keywords list looks a bit crack to
me. Also would be a pain to code. You can type keywords with
autocompletion in the search entry and at some point we plan to allow
to save searches as special topics (if you like that you could file a
bug about it).
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-04-15 16:11:51 UTC
fwiw i did consider this when putting together my original proposal.
Since multiple discontigous selections in a tree view requires
keyboard modifiers, i think the chance of most users finding this
feature would be small, more experience users wouldn't probably have a
problem with it though, and as the reporter mentioned it is somewhat
natural. 

As far as the coding complexity, well thats up to Marco. 
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-04-15 16:13:54 UTC
Maybe I should have thought to this more ...
Reopening. If we want this we need to consider the implementation
problems it could create though ...

Sorry for the spam. Reassigning bugs with a target to our next milestone.
Comment 6 spark 2004-02-07 22:41:34 UTC
Target 1.2 -> 1.4 due to feature freeze.
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2004-07-25 13:26:24 UTC
Mass-moving Target 1.4 -> 1.6 because of feature and UI freeze. Sorry for the
bugspam, search for "mass-move-1.4-1.6" to filter all of it.

Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 10 Christian Persch 2005-02-10 18:24:04 UTC
Mass-moving bugs from Target Milestone: 1.6 to 1.8 because of feature, UI and
string freeze.
Comment 11 Christian Persch 2005-07-30 21:17:38 UTC
Target: 1.8 -> 1.10 due to feature and UI freeze.

We don't currently have a search system.
Comment 17 Reinout van Schouwen 2016-09-28 16:44:28 UTC
I don't understand - don't we match on bookmark title or topic in the address bar any more?
Comment 18 Michael Catanzaro 2016-09-28 16:52:11 UTC
Um, yeah, I didn't look too closely at this, sorry. :)
