Description

Currently, we can add one or many filters to search issues, including Subject. I would love to see the ability to search the Description field of an issue in the same way we can search the Subject field.

Thank you very much for the quick turn around on this. The wiki describes how to create a patch.diff file, but it does not specifcy how to implement one. I looked through the forums as well. Sorry for the noob question.

Mark, I've updated the Patch page on the wiki to talk about applying and removing a patch file. That should help you get started, if you have any other questions feel free to post to Forums.

Running this patch on redmine0.8.3 I receive error:

patching file app/models/query.rb
Assertion failed: hunk, file ../patch-2.5.9-src/patch.c, line 354

And the option is still unavailable.

Is there an update for this patch working with redmine 2.2?

There is a plugin redmine extra query operators which can regexp on topic but not on description, its half of the way. See inofficial github issue or official forum

Is that deliberately left out in trunk because it might put a lot of load on the DB?
If not, why isn't this in trunk after all?

How does this filter works? Substring match?

If not, why isn't this in trunk after all?

Good question anyways.

Ideally description field and other text fields should be indexed and searched with FTS.

+1. It's more convenient for me to search via filter than via Search.

BTW, if standart Search can search through the description field, why filter cant? It seems the same thing.
