Re: Brainstorming features for issues.guix.gnu.org

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Hi!

Thanks for the effort, issues.guix.gnu.org is a great initiative in my
opinion.

I used to not use it much in the past because it was too slow and seemed
to timeout.  Since your recent fix this problem is gone so I will use it
more from now on.
(I use debbugs otherwise.)

That'd be great indeed!

Other suggestions:

- Add column ordering to search results.

- Add a live filter input field on top of the search results.  This is
  useful to narrow down large lists when the browser's "search feature"
  is too limited.

- From the search result page, there is no help about the search query
  syntax.  One has to go back to the main page and open
  https://issues.guix.info/help#search.
  What about adding a tooltip or a hint as on the main page:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Hint: Refine your search with filters like is:open, author:me, submitter:me, 
date:yesterday..now, date:2018-04-01..2018-04-02, date:1m..today, 
mdate:2w..12h, and many more!
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers!
