Support redmine link syntax in search box
Added by Brad Schick over 15 years ago.
Updated over 7 years ago.
Description
It would be very helpful if I could go directly to a revision, issues, commit, or source file by typing the wiki link syntax into the free-text search box at the top of a project. Currently only jumping to issues works with #NNN, but it would be very helpful if all of the following navigated directly to their targets:
#12
r43
commit:f30e13e43
source:some/file
It seems unlikely that these would mask real free-text search strings, but if that is a concern using quotes could always force a normal free-text search.

For issues only, currently you can even omit the "#". So NNN, followed by an <enter>, in the project searchbox is sufficient to go straight "into" the issue...

#12
Since issues are "the heart of Redmine" I'd like the current behaviour of not requireing the "#" to go straight to the issue. Though, if the "#" is optional (as it is currently) I can live with it... ;)

+10... I see myself using it alot already... Makes me :smile:

These two seems a bit of overkill IMO. Are you frequently going in "so deep into detail" straight from the repository main page? Personally I don't but YMMV :)
Note: for Git-users this would be much more needed than for SVN-users...
Certainly issues and revisions are the most important. The other direct links are just gravy, but I see little reason to not support them. It's how I expected the search field to behave when I tried it the first time.

The fact that such a feature gives me a big smile on my face triggered myself to hack this into Redmine.
I'll attach a quick-n-dirty patch which implements numeric-changeset quickjump-functionality into the searchbox. This feature is:
- included at project-level only (thus only looking for changesets in the current-project's repository)
- ignoring tried quickjumps on projects without a repository attached (thus does a regular search with the given search string)
- ignoring tried quickjumps to non-existant changesets (thus does a regular search with the given search string)
- requiring the following syntax in the searchbox:
rNNN
where NNN needs to get substituted by the numeric changeset-id (note that the r is required here)
- not supporting the non-numeric changeset hashes used by e.g. Git (commit:HEX-ID)
Please note that this patch is created by trial-and-erroring with a useful outcome on my personal environment (Redmine r2147 + SVN 1.5.x). YMMV! :-)
This is already implemented and could be closed.
