RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
In HBAC Rules. search for the leter 'm', and allow_all will be listed, because its description contains 'from'. But the page doesn't display description, and so the user is left confused as to why this rule is displayed. 

Or if a rule is added, and it applies to a host whose name contains 'm', then the search will find this rule too.

Search should be limited to the fields that are displayed to avoid confusion.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.1.1-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add and edit HBAC rule - test
2. Go to its Accessing section, and click to Add a Host
3. Add a host - say - example.testrelm
4. Go back to HBAC Rules page, and search for the letter 'm'
  
Actual results:
the rule 'test' is listed

Expected results:
the rule 'test' should not have matched the criteria

There were some further discussions about this issue on both CLI and WebUI side and we came to a common agreement. We think we do the right thing with searching for given term ('m' in your case) in all object's default attributes. Even if some field is not shown (in WebUI) that does not necessarily mean that user would not want to search the term in such field.

Talking specifically about description field, user could have his custom data in such field and would not like if he suddenly can't search in it. That would sound more like a regression IMO. I plan to close this bug as WONTFIX if nobody protests.

Closing the BZ as WONTFIX.
