GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 59062
Query Page is too complex
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The query page takes about 20-30 seconds to render in Mozilla, and is too complex for the average user to understand/use anyway. We should have: a) a simple query page with just a couple fields. Ideally, a single field to match "all words in Description or Summary" and maybe one selector to choose the application; all other fields could submit as default or not at all. b) Simplification or slimming of the standard query page; maybe it could be split into two pages, or something (Choose app. Now query.) But it just takes forever to load/render with such a complex form layout right now.
Marking this as an enhancement. I'm not sure what it would take to get a bug helper form into bugzilla.gnome.org.
The forever to render part is fixed by bug 59495.
And a simplified search would be available via an upgrade to bugzilla 2.14. :/
Re-assigning all of martin's bugzilla bugs to the bugmaster@gnome.org mailing list, as per discussion in #bugs.
Re-titling.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154782 is the mozilla bug we should be tracking for this one, although since it's a simple fix, I'll probably do it for our upgrade.
I've asked James to update and commit the patch in 154872 to bugzilla.gnome.org.
Done. Closing. Still sort of ugly, but we can work on that.
