I'd like to share result of quick investigation I made on how other
issue trackers implement the similar functionality:
- Jira - by default search globally with possibility of later project
selection
- YouTrack - project selector for search is part of top navigation.
"All projects" option is selected by default but user can change
project before searching
- Redmine - search within project by default with possibility to
select "All projects" later
As you see, there is no common approach here :) We can introduce a
setting whether the default search should be performed within product
scope or globally and tune this later based on feedback from users.
Interesting. At the moment I would probably say that we want global
search by default. This would probably imply that wiki links that are
input which are duplicated in different projects would also not be
automatically scoped so we would need to show the choices or a search
page instead of going directly to them.
For instance a search for "#1" would now match across multiple products.
There is a question over how frustrating that would be for those used to
Trac but we should probably encourage users to use "BH-1" (or whatever
syntax we agreed to) instead.
I'm not sure if I would add a setting to change this behaviour until
feedback or experience suggested it is required.
Cheers,
