Description Jiri Kovalsky 2011-04-05 08:45:22 UTC

It would be good to have a possibility to not only search by one word but also a group of words. For example if you type "NetBeans for" into Name search field it will find "Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS" plugin but also many other plugins like "SDE for NetBeans". In this case the search is 90% useless.

Hi Jirka,
the current search is feature of the data grid on the page and it's client side javascript. Fulltext search would need some kind of index which would be built and stored on client and that index would be then used for searches. I am afraid that would be pretty complicated to implement in JS.

This is sad news. Let's close this then.
