Summary0003858: "Search" should only search the SUMMARY field, with option to search everything
Description

90% of the time when I use the searchfunction, I'm searching for a word I KNOW is in the Summary field (the "title" of the bug).

Searching for EVERYTHING (it's really just the summary, description and additional information fields I'm guessing) has two obvious downsides: too many searchresults, and slow performance.

My feature suggestion:

  1. Add a checkbox next to the search textfield ("search only summaries") which is checked by default (configurable ofcourse).
  2. When the checkbox is checked, only the summary field is searched.
  3. Add a configuration option for the default state of the checkbox.

Done! :)

I second this feature. My project has Mantis installed on a low-end server, and whenever I use the Keyword Search, Mantis will just timeout.

0007183 is a good idea but I find it overkill. I only want the possibility to search Summary, Description or [Any].

(Too many features is not a good thing).

I second this. Searching Summary, Description, Notes or [ANY] would be useful.

Also, there is NO search box ANYWHERE but the View Issues page. A little AJAXy magic would be nice to have the search available on any page, but hidden unless needed. I'd be happy to code it.

Good point, i'd be happy to test it. Also, sorry to veer off here, but if its in the same codespace, i'm hoping someone with some ajax/php/sql chops can fold in some 'AND' magic for the search field as well, narrowing the search using multiple keywords is sorely needed!

I have error in one of the project in searching by "any":

Database query failed. Error received from database was 0001064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 8 for the query: SELECT DISTINCT mantis_bug_table.id AS id
FROM mantis_bug_text_table, mantis_project_table, mantis_bug_table

WHERE mantis_project_table.enabled = 1 AND mantis_project_table.id = mantis_bug_table.project_id AND ( mantis_bug_table.project_id=6 ) AND (mantis_bug_table.view_state='10' OR mantis_bug_table.reporter_id='24') AND (mantis_bug_text_table.id = mantis_bug_table.bug_text_id)OR (summary LIKE '%dcsdc%')
OR (mantis_bug_text_table.description LIKE '%dcsdc%')
OR (mantis_bug_text_table.steps_to_reproduce LIKE '%dcsdc%')
OR (mantis_bug_text_table.additional_information LIKE '%dcsdc%')
OR (mantis_bug_table.id = '0')).

I don;t know what's the problem. Coul you help me please ?

Is there any progress in this? Using Version 2.10.0 and this little but helpful feature is still not available

There is a different approach in 0026447. I find it more appropriate to use prefixes instead of an additional checkbox.
