NAME

RTx::S3Invoker - Simple Saved Search Invoker

SYNOPSIS

The existing options for accessing saved searches in RT have drawbacks:

Waste time loading a selection in Search Builder before Showing Results.

Maintain a browser bookmark than can easily get lost or out of sync.

Clutter the front page/one's dashboard with unneeded subscriptions.

Worse still, none of these methods is convenient for those who prefer to use Simple Search as a command line. S3Invoker provides a powerful alternative.

DESCRIPTION

This module adds a do: operator to Simple Search, and provides a brief description on Search/Simple.html

Features of the operator include:

Directly display search results, or list of searches matching operand.

S3Invoker tries to 'Do What You Mean'. If it finds exactly one thing matching the operand (right-hand side of the colon), it runs that search, if there are many matches (Ambiguous search) it lists them as clickable links.

Matching is done with LIKE '%operand%'. Consequently, if no operand is supplied, a list of all accessible saved searches is shown.

BONUS: The ability to access global searches!

Now it's easy to display any global search, and use it as the basis of a custom saved search. Are there things you occassionally need to see, but don't want clogging up your home page? Remove "Unowned tickets" and call do:unowned at your leisure.
