[jira] Commented: (DIRSTUDIO-634) add search context menu entry / simplify search

["Stefan Seelmann (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-634?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12844386#action_12844386 ] 

Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-634:
-------------------------------------------

Do you know the "Quick Search" feature [1]?

I think it almost does what you need:
- Doesn't show up in the search history
- You can re-open it with context menu -> Properties or Alt+Enter

We can add a "Quick Search" menu item to the context menu that opens the Quick Search property page without seeking for it.

WDYT?

> To search, you currently select a tree entry in ldap browser, then new -> search
> I find this not very intuitive to have to click new to get a search dialogue (I know, this is the Mac "everything is a document" spirit ;-), for me, the collection of search results is useless, especially, as it is hard to re-use them (scroll down, find the last, change properties, double click).
> I suggest to add an additional context menu "Search" to the tree entries, which would immediately get a search dialog. If you allready had done this previously, you get the previous search settings.
> This menu entry should be right at the top. Also, there should be an entry "show last search result".
> ---
> search
> show last search result
> ----
> I think, this is what you mostly need, I never need or use the list of old searches.
