Description Miles Lane 2001-07-18 21:06:21 UTC 
Repro:

Select the Bigfoot LDAP server.
Click on Search --> Advanced...

Result:  

At the top of the dialog is a Rule name: field.
This implies the ability to create saved/named rules.
And yet, there is only the "Search" and "Close" buttons.
Clicking on either of these fails to give a saved rule
that can be reused.
Comment 1 Chris Toshok 2001-07-25 01:38:53 UTC 
Changing the subject from LDAP... to Addressbook...  as this problem
isn't unique to ldap.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2001-08-17 20:24:25 UTC 
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to
'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under
the following circumstances:
1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not
have to be changed in any way.)
2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most
likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are
not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should
probably not make any such changes. 
Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to
prioritize our limited resources.
Comment 3 Sven Rohweder 2002-06-06 16:14:21 UTC 
The bug can be reproduced with 1.1.0.99
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-01-12 12:29:41 UTC 
still valid in evolution-2.0.3.0.200501070910-0.snap.ximian.10.1. also
refers to local addressbook.
Comment 5 Rodney Dawes 2005-01-31 20:19:52 UTC 
Moving to 2.3.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2005-02-09 17:37:37 UTC 
either we make the searches saveable as reported here, or we change
the string as described in bug 261736.
Comment 7 Srinivasa Ragavan 2005-08-23 06:41:06 UTC 
I think we should just give advanced search and not save search. Im closing this
as wont fix. We should fix the other bug.
Comment 8 Sushma Rai 2005-08-25 05:33:57 UTC 
Srini: any reason why this can not be done?
Comment 9 Sushma Rai 2005-08-29 08:37:26 UTC 
253650 is another related bug.
Comment 10 Devashish Sharma 2006-01-31 10:08:59 UTC 
Fix committed to cvs head. Advanced search in contacts can now be saved.
