Description Ondrej Langr 2009-05-25 15:46:51 UTC
Field for searching issues was generally appraised by participants in the usability study, but it's function was
typically not recognized at first (only after participants started typing into the field).

We should probably add better indication that issues can actually be identified by "choosing", not just by typing. 

Intended for the version after 6.7.
Comment 1 Ondrej Langr 2009-06-09 21:10:02 UTC
Attached is a sketch of UI solving this problem.

Clicking the "combo" sign on the right would drop down a standard list with issues this field is using. The list would
contain 5 most recently opened issues. Starting to type would behave as this fields behaves now .. would search all
cached queries.

Please use the word "summary" instead of "description"
Comment 4 Ondrej Langr 2009-07-24 14:14:07 UTC
UI solving the problem is done, reassigning to bugtracking for implementation.
