Description Pavel Moravec 2019-03-10 16:20:52 UTC

Description of problem:
WebUI search on errata page for RHSA*, or direct API search like:

curl -X GET -s -k -u admin:secret 'https://$(hostname -f)/katello/api/v2/errata?per_page=10000&search=RHSA*'

returns very few RHSA errata. Despite there are many shown without that filter.

The reason is, the "filter" greps within errata description (I think) and it does not filter based on errata id. That is less intuitive implementation.

I suggest such a search without param=value filter should assume the value is (prefix of) errata id.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.4.2


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
0. Have some bigger repo synced (e.g. RHEL6 or RHEL7 base repo)
1. curl -X GET -s -k -u admin:secret 'https://$(hostname -f)/katello/api/v2/errata?per_page=10000&search=RHSA*' > rhsa.errata.json
2. python -m json.tool rhsa.errata.json | grep errata_id


Actual results:
2. shows just few errata


Expected results:
2. to show all RHSA errata in katello

Of course, one shall use "search=type%3Dsecurity" / type=security filter, but that is less intuitive. Hence this improvement BZ.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in one month's time. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
