Yes, that is a nice goal, I have a few ideas. > If you do use it: what features do you think are missing? * I'd like to have a way to reverse the ordering of the results, especially to get newer issues at the top (I think this should even be the default). But as you say later, the "oldest first" view is also of interest, so a classical ordering combobox could be added order-by: - oldest to newest - newest to oldest - etc. * The filtering hints are great (are they an exhaustive list, is there a fu= ll list somewhere). But to ease their use, maybe they could be made clickable, and a click on one could append it to the search entry, making their usage from a "select, copy, change focus, paste, click search" into "click item(s) from the hint list, click search"... This is not high priority, but maybe nice to have UI enhancement. * the "is:Done" filtering shows some Open issues, is that a bug, or a misunderstanding on my part about what is "Done" > Personally, I=E2=80=99d wish for a more streamlined workflow to download = and > apply patch sets.

An indicator (=C3=A0 la Done, Open) could be added to make issues with patches stand out. Thanks for the great work BTW Tchuss --=20 Vincent Legoll
