NAME

RTx-Search-FullTextByDefault - Search ticket subject and content by default from RT's simple search

DESCRIPTION

RT's simple search normally only searches subjects when it finds unrecognized terms. It allows explicit content searching by using content:hola or fulltext:"hello world". Explicit subject searches are performed via bare quotes ("hi there") or subject:hello.

This RT plugin, when installed and enabled, changes the simple search default to search subjects and full content for any unrecognized term and all quoted phrases without a field prefix. Explicit subject- or content-only terms may be prefixed to indicate such.

Note that the simple search explanation/documentation is not updated to reflect the new behaviour with this plugin installed. There is no good mechanism to do so in RT.
