GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 110841
Select bookmarks by multiple keywords
Last modified: 2018-08-03 19:09:26 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).
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.
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.
Target 1.2 -> 1.4 due to feature freeze.
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
Mass-moving bugs from Target Milestone: 1.6 to 1.8 because of feature, UI and string freeze.
Target: 1.8 -> 1.10 due to feature and UI freeze.
-> 1.12 due to feature and UI freeze.

Hmm, some light comments about how to implement?

We don't currently have a search system.
I don't understand - don't we match on bookmark title or topic in the address bar any more?
Um, yeah, I didn't look too closely at this, sorry. :)
