filter project doesn't work per all pages

[Ami Jeain]

go to the admin page, and have a big list of instances (I had around 100), enough to have multiple pages of them.
While in the first page of the instances, enter a project name that doesn't exist in the first page to filter.
I would expect it to find it, but rather, it finds it only if I surf to the page where it actually exists.

I am also expecting the samething....

Yes, this is a big usability issue and should be fixed anywhere that has pagination/filtering within Horizon. Searching needs to search the entire table rather than just the current page the user is on. Otherwise, the search feature isn't useful in environments that really need it where tables become much larger than one page :)

Hi,

This is a backend issue. We need the API support.

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/81574/ addresses it for some tables. Agreed that we need more of it. Need to bring up in other OpenStack projects.

The fix described above (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/81574/) does add filtering capabilities to the paged tables by using the existing API query attributes. That means filtering will happen across all pages. However, the project field specifically does not seem to work this way and is therefore not supported across all pages. I could be mistaken but I think the way nova servers works you can only query on the current project you are authenticated to.

This review should also help address this issue -> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121529

This is still unsolved and is a regression between icehouse and any later version.
