[opensource-dev] [JIRA] Proposal - Default Search settings on jira.secondlife.com

[opensourceobscure]

Currently, if you search multiple keywords on jira.secondlife.com
you get result that include at least one of the keywords
in Summary OR Description OR Comments fields.

Unsurprisingly you often get thousands of results for every search,
which is pointless. This requires users to tweak the search
parameters, which is not trivial for common people.

Instead, common people may know (by using Google) that
the more keywords you use, the best results you get.
On SL JIRA, it's the opposite.


PROPOSAL:

1) exclude "Comments" from fields where keywords are searched for
2) exclude "Description" too (this may be excessive but usually works for me)
3) replace the "OR" logic operator (which is implicit in searches)
with the "AND" logic operator

I think that this would lead to a better use of JIRA for
SL users willing to give feedback. More specifically,
the number of duplicate issues may be reduced because
the search for existing issues would be more efficient.
