USABILITY: Search field on User List (admin/people)

We took out admin/user/search in D6 during beta/rc, because it was doing exactly the same thing as user/search but didn't work any more. The plan there was to open an issue for D7 to add a search filter in, so I guess this is it. In other words, subscribe.

Moving all usability issues to Drupal - component usability.

Hi,

I want same functionality? is it possible in drupal5.12?

Best,

The inability to quickly find users from the admin page has been a long-time frustration (there have been numerous patches for this since Drupal 5.x). Not every site has a readily available search box for searching users.

I'll take a stab at this. This patch does the following:

• Adds keyword search for users on "People" (admin/people) page.
• Integrates with the Search module. No duplicate search code. Uses search theming and paging.
• Returns results on same page instead of separate search page.

Re-submitting patch with correct Unix format.

adding usability tags.

We cannot introduce this so late, also this should be a meta issue as it applies to admin/content. That meta issue already exists.

Bojhan, what did you mean under "meta issue", and what is the way to get someting, like the thing, that this patch provides? :)

I think he's talking about #497804: [meta] Search entities (nodes, terms, etc.) within the administrative interface?

However, #1279652: Add title search feature on the node listing admin page was closed as a duplicate of that and then reopened, and I think it might make sense to reopen this (for Drupal 8) for the same reasons.

This issue may also be of interest: #1475204: [META] Provide a generic search/filter UI interface pattern for listing pages

#8: user-admin-search-198973-8.patch queued for re-testing.

We now have views in core which allows adding this in a few seconds.

The fact that it's easy to add is not the same as actually adding it :)

But it looks like #2020167: Add a name and email search field to the admin/people view already took care of adding it (or at least something close enough).
