Description Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-02-12 12:41:12 UTC

Profiler 070212
NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200702111900)

It's not correct to use space as a separator for filter values since the data
contain spaces. I. e. there is a method: 

void addEntry(int, Object, Object, int)

And if you select, for example, Ends With filtering mode and enter:

Object, int)

as a filtering criterion. It will be split into two filtering values: "Object,"
and "int)". Thus, all the methods with the last parameter of int will be shown.
This is misleading and creates a perception that filter doesn't work.

Comment 1 Jiri Sedlacek 2007-02-12 14:04:19 UTC

The filter is meant to be a package/class/method-name filter (what also empty 
filter field suggests), not for method signature. This needs to be documented 
better - handled by Issue 72168.

Comment 2 Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-02-12 14:50:54 UTC

I would suggest to remove signature information when performing filtering. It is
more natural if, for example, Ends With filter is applied to method name only,
not to the signature.

Comment 3 Jiri Sedlacek 2007-09-27 15:43:03 UTC

Added a simple tooltip description how to use the results filter (see Issue 72168) based on current state. Skipping
method signatures for filtering is still valid request, updating summary. Not for 6.0.
