When you visit the resource browser the SearchBar will be prepopulated with "search for resources". Likewise, when you visit the group browser the SearchBar will be prepopulated with "search for groups". At that point, if you were to hit the OK button, the results would be empty because it's interpreting the welcome message as a search expression. The fix to this should be that when the user clicks the OK button, if the SearchBar still has the default / welcome message in it, it should be blanked out and then the search executed.
commit 316150fef98fce297e4454a9d715d27f70d616cb Author: Joseph Marques <joseph> Date: Mon Jun 14 10:45:41 2010 -0400 BZ-603769, 603772: enable SearchBar prefill functionality, fix welcomeMessage handling BZ-603769: * delay the construction of the SearchBar until the SavedSearchManager is fully loaded * add method to allow propagation of default search information from JSF context * add handler to execute search immediately if searchText is propagated * add handler to activate saved search immediately if a named search pattern is propagated BZ-603772: * use DOM.addNativePreviewHandler instead of DOM.setEventListener ** this ensures that the prepareSearchExecution is the first handler in the stack
Verified on JON 2.4 GA_QA build When searchbar is prepopulated with "search for resources" or "search for groups", clicking on OK button blanks out the welcome message and search results are displayed.
