Wishlist: Additional report search abilities

[Susan Morrison]

3.10

It would be helpful to have the capability to search for report templates by template ID. With the number of templates that end up being created, it can sometimes be difficult to search by report name and efficiently find the right template.

I also found that searching for titles that include special characters, such as parentheses and dashes, does not bring up results. For example, searching for the template titled "Shelf List (All)" does not bring up results, but searching for "Shelf List All" does. This can cause confusion when advising library staff on what template(s) to use.

Confirming that searching with special characters does not work--with one exception that I found. A template search for "(clone)" does return results.

Just to clarify: the idea is to add a search by *template* ID, not a search by the ID of the resulting report(s)?

Beth, thank you for pointing that out - I updated the summary to "template ID."
