[rt-users] Quick Search in 3.8.1 doesn't include Resolved Status

[Greg Evans]

They can still search resolved by using a format like '<search term>
resolved' I have the same issue, in which we need to search resolved tickets
as it makes it much easier to find someone since most of the people that
call us don't have a clue what their email is (hard to believe I know) or
have 10 different emails that they give us

I'd love to say I'd write the patch, but sadly Perl (or any coding for
that matter) is not my strong point.  Not from a lack of trying though,
I went out and bought a Perl book just to help me understand RT better
:)  Unfortunately I haven't used it yet :(

Oh well, I'll tell them they'll have to use the standard Tickets section
for their searches going forward.

Thanks Jesse for the quick response.

I'd take a patch to make it configurable, but generally, we've found
that more often than not, users want to search current tickets quickly.
Limiting it to only open tickets makes the actual search much faster and
less cluttered.
