The QuickSearch feature on the bugzilla front page should allow me to search based on when the bug was last changed. The syntax might be changedin:2 for "changed in the last 2 days". I would use this to find bugs that I've just modified, and to limit the number of old bugs that show up when I search for a bug about a recent regression.

This fix is a bit verbose, but it seems to work. Some day, there should be a generic routine that handles all the different comparison operators and can be applied to arbitrary fields (with numeric values). But for now, this is probably good enough. Taking bug.

-> default owner. (Pulling myself out.)

Without afranke here to drive the patch, we can either just check it in and hope, or abandon it. Dave? Gerv

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16. We are now close enough to release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make the cut. Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18. If you strongly disagree with this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2 weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

Of course, I'd prefer it if you just checked it in. Anyway, if you find real bugs in my code (not limitations or missing features) then mail me directly (not via bugzilla) and I'll fix it. If you have any questions about this patch, please let me know.

Since bug 70907 is already so far, I don't think we should bother with this Javascript patch anymore (although it's not even totally rotten yet). So we need a perl patch after the quicksearch module is ready. I'm marking the dependencies per my previous assumptions. If someone disagrees, please change them.

Because Bug 70907 is still not FIXED yet, here our local modifications which are based on attachment 52193 [details] [diff] [review]. [sry for possible bad programming style, this was my very first JS-hack ;-)] + Numeric comparison logic moved to more general routine add_num_cmp() + New operators == and !=. + "chg" is an alias for "changedin" + ">xx" is a shortcut for "changedin>xx" (may be disabled by setting "changedin_shortcut" to false) quicksearch.js should IMO be left in the codebase (at least in "contrib") even after Bug 70907 is fixed, because it is a good base for (client-)local hacks.

After the fixing of bug 37749, changedin should not be used any more; use chfieldfrom with relative dates instead.

Changedin should still be added to QuickSearch. Telling QuickSearch users "use Changedafter with a number of days instead of a date" instead of making Changedin work would be silly.

Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004. Anything flagged enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out. If this bug is otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.

The trunk is now frozen to prepare Bugzilla 2.22. Enhancement bugs are retargetted to 2.24.

We are freezing the code for 3.0 in two weeks and we don't expect this bug to be fixed on time.

Will be fixed as part of the duplicate bug.
