[Chandler-dev] Re: [chandler-users] Web UI Search

Hi Avner, I've forwarded this thread to the Chandler-Dev list so we  
can work through design details...

I think your original request for use cases on the users-list was the  
right thing to do. You might get some more responses if you ask about  
search scenarios in general (as opposed to scenarios specific to the  
Web UI), since people are currently searching in the desktop.

Maybe send out something along the lines of: How do you use search in  
Chandler today?

See more in-line...

Uh-oh. I believe that's a bug. I've logged it here: https://

Hm, I think I may need some hand-holding to figure out how to access  
that. I will wait for you to finish the JS stuff before bugging you  
about that. :)

Awesome.

Great, let me know if you have any UI questions for parsing date  
formats, etc.
