Please provide a searchbox

[Pedro Fragoso]

It would be nice to have a search box to search or go directly to a link like

http://daniel.holba.ch/harvest/handler.py?pkg=$blah

Would the changes in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Harvest/NewUI fix the problem for you without having a special search box?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

What would you like to search for? Just source packages?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

We should at least provide a search for source package names and opportunity list names (<query> is like bla).

In lp:~dylanmccall/harvest/gsoc-client-stuff (my GSoC project, which involves building a filtering interface with lots of goodies), I am working on a filter called PkgNameFilter.

It does precisely what its name says: you can type into its attached input field to narrow the results so you only see source packages starting with the given letters.

In addition, the filter stuff all uses GET parameters, so you can bookmark a particular query and jump to it later.

Is that sufficient for this feature request, or do you need something more sophisticated?
