Description
Problem
Most of the time a user only wants to search tickets. However, the Search page defaults to checking all available checkboxes (Tickets Wiki Changesets etc.). The user must manually uncheck these for every search. This is annoying.
Solutions
There are few ways to improve this, in order of simplicity
- tell users to remember the URL link i.e.
https://trac/search?noquickjump=1&ticket=on - Global hardcoded default to auto-check only the Tickets checkbox.
- Allow global Admininistration setting which allows picking which checkbox are auto-checked.
- Allow per-user setting to allow picking which checkbox are auto-checked.
This is a follow-on to this old email thread.
I usually search with the search button, but 99% of the time, I only want to search tickets so it would be nice to default the other checkboxes to unchecked.
I'd like to have this feature too. I think it could be quite useful to store the search option on a per-user basis, so that the default search options are restored from one search session to the other.
