Feature #312399, revision 1 Title: Software search (webpage) shoud use automatic home repros when nothing other
openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important
Requested by: melchiaros melchiaros (melchiaros) Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description: ..could be found.(The title was to long) When I using the Software search website http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=&baseproject=ALL&lang=en it happens frequently to me that nothing could be found with the default search options. A switch in the search options to "Include users' home projects" could be performed manually, which contains often the missed software. But it would be a simple time saving modification when the search would do the switch automatic when the Software is in no regular repro. To point it out: When it could not found in the regular repros, show the user the results with the home repros and not show: "No packages found in the openSUSE build service that matched your query. Maybe you want to extend your search using the search options."
I think this would be more user friendly.
