Add filtering ability to the services list #1

I usually spend a lot of time when looking for a specific service. It might be useful to have a text input for filtering ability.

jrgdre commented 7 years ago

I think that is a great idea for an improvement.

I do not know how to do it (yet), but that would be a technical issue. That can be solved.

More my problem right now is, that I'm having a lot to do for commercial projects, at least until the end of this year (2017). So if no one else it taking up this, I'm afraid it will have to wait quite a while.

But thanks for your input @martonmiklos

No worries, I have just made this issue as a note (to not to forget it) and double check that you have not started to work on this. I might came up with a PR about this soon.

And yeah, what is your opinion about the following implementation way:

Add a pulley menu with the "Show/hide filtering"
If filtering active then a text input shall be shown above the list (This would match with the behaviour of the Contacts app)
Add wildcard support for * and ? characters

Sounds great to me.

It should integrate nicely with the Sailfish UI concept
Avoid cluttering the precious screen real estate
