Search

[ftomassetti]

Issue #8

This is an initial implementation. It uses AJAX to update the results without reloading the whole page. Search functionality is available in the context of a project and return patches.

Concerns:

• performance (perhaps we could limit the number of results returned)
• states: how should we find states such as "new" or "stale" for the patches?

problems:

• the search should be a first class action
• it should have the following structure

plaid/search?<query args>

The query args should be:

• project=project_id
• tags=[taglist]
• name=patchname

Theoretically at most 1 optional.

Later we can integrate whoosh to add a content search by indexing the patch contents.

The search should not be ajax and not be a POST (even if it is borderline, I know) since it is useful to share the search results over email.

I quickly put together a something barebone that uses sqlalchemy to make searches, the tag UI is missing but is possible to search by tag already backend wise using tag=tag1&tag=tag2.

What it does and does not

• [x] search by project and name
• [ ] search by tag
• [x] paginates
• [ ] live-search
