Summary | 0007854: Need advanced text search options | ||||
Description | A main problem with Mantis is the inability to usefully narrow your search by keyword. The text search is too literal since users will never all use the exact same term or phrase to describe something, leading either to too few or way too many hits based on all the possible search field inputs. I don't see this ubiquitous problem mentioned in the 1.1 or even the 2.0 roadmaps. --------------- more detail ------------- Searching for specific bugs (in order to avoid writing duplicates) is currently a major drawback in Mantis. Mantis can search only by contiguous phrase. If you want to find only the bugs that have the word "red" in them, you'll also get all sorts of unwanted hits for words that happen to include that sequence of characters like "occurred", "redrawing", "stored" "rendered", "textured", "covered", "redo", "entered", etc.
Boolean options would return results per the following:
