I've wondered why quick-search didn't do ALL by default, myself. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Bugzilla's advanced search is quite difficult for users to get right (I |
| 12 |
never seem to, tho it may be konqueror's scripting or some such, so I use |
| 13 |
quick-search and either specify version or start from the bottom and work |
| 14 |
backward as far as I believe reasonable), so I presume most use the quick |
| 15 |
search nearly exclusively. That being the case, and further, the case |
| 16 |
being that users almost certainly will want ALL, having that NOT the |
| 17 |
default is simply begging for users to miss closed bugs. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So I'd say make ALL the default, and have an ONLYOPEN or some such option, |
| 20 |
instead, to cover the current default for those who actually want/need it. |
