https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281855 ------- Comment #10 from sh@novell.com 2007-06-11 06:05 MST ------- I think what you really want is the "keyword" feature (a separate filter view in the package selector) we are already preparing. The rough idea is to provide a number of (predefined!) keywords for each package from which the user can select, like [ ] mail client [ ] mail server [ ] console [ ] graphical [ ] GNOME [ ] KDE Search modes would be "match all" or "match any". The operational word here is "predefined" - very much like in the KDE control center's search facility. Most users have only a very vague idea what that thing is they are searching, and providing hints like those predefined keywords makes searching so much easier. Of course there would also be a "Search" field above the keywords so users who know what they are searching could narrow down the list easily. But that's something very different from the free text search we already have in the package selector. Free text search very often results in what I call the "Google problem": You get 0 or 30,000,000 hits, none of which is what you want. You need to have a pretty good initial idea of what terms to search for to make this successful. That's why we want to use predefined keywords. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
