Only works with whole strings #8

If you type a part of the string you are looking for, it won't work. Also, I've found this one here https://www.allphptricks.com/select-box-with-search-option-using-jquery/ which does search for incomplete parts in the strings and thought you might want to see it.

The plugin is no addon for the search, don't change the search query or similar. The plugin enhance the select areas, boxes for better user experience.

Chosen is a jQuery plugin that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. SO I'm not sure what you mean in the context of the plugin?

realmofevil commented 5 years ago

I meant that if you type, e.g. a partial username or something else in a select box - it won't work unless you type the string with its starting characters. If you want to find "username" you can't do it by typing just "name", you have to type "user". So I guess I will have to make it into a new plugin myself?

Yes, I understand that. However is it not a part of the plugin to enhance the search query. The idea is great, you should create a plugin for Mantis. But which version do you use?

realmofevil commented 4 years ago

I'm using MantisBT 2.22.0 at the moment and your plugin seems to be working fine with it. At least from the brief testing I did.

Okay, will try and see what happens with the search feature in a new plugin.
