Ticket Search should (optionally) search only non-closed tickets

[Norbert Unterberg <nepo@…>]

One of the popular uses for searching (I believe) is to search the ticket database if an issue has already been filed. It would help if the search would only search tickets that have not been closed.

This request is similar to Ticket #584 but I would like a way to filter the results so that only open tickets are displayed in the search result. It does not help much if you need to browse loads of resolved tickets to find the one open ticket you are looking for.

This is a part of ticket #1722 (since closed as invalid).

It would be nice if someone could outline how this could be done - I did look at the template code, but couldn't figure out an easy way to filter on the bug's status. I would be prepared to make the change, if I had some idea how to go about it.

My current take on the issue is that there should be a way to "forward" the list of tickets found during a search to the custom query view, where one can add additional criterions to refine the search or better organize the results.

Alternatively, a "free text form search" could be reintroduced on the custom query page.
