Bookmarkable URL for Search no "button"

Hey Folks,

I’ve been looking in the WIKI and tried to search the archives for
bookmarkable searches, I don’t have a button for that feature, I can
bookmark searches by bookmarking the URL that the Query Builder link
links to on the left hand column. But my users aren’t going to
understand that and I want them to have searches they can easily
bookmark (or rather I’m going to send them via e-mail searches to add to
their bookmarks).

Am I missing a permission somewhere, is it misconfigured? Any pointers
to FM or otherwise are appreciated.

We’re running RT 3.2.0 on MySQL on RH Enterprise Server.

Subject: [rt-users] Problems with Bookmarkable URL for this search and
thepriority field

The “Bookmarkable URL for this search” is not working for me any time I
use “Priority is greater than” or “Priority is less than” as a search
criteria. For example, if I do a new search and search for Priority is
greater than 0, I get a lot of search results. I copy the Bookmarkable
URL, logout and close my browser. I open a new browser and paste the
copied URL but I get no search results, whether I log in before or after
I paste the bookmarked URL. The search criteria is blank on the page
but the URL shows that I should have some search criteria:

/Search/Listing.html?Bookmark=FrT%3B%402%7C%252%7C%241%7C1%258%7C%2
411%7CDESCRIPTION%245%7CFIELD%248%7COPERATOR%245%7CVALUE%2412%7CPriority
%20%26gt%3B%200%248%7CPriority%241%7C%26gt%3B%241%7C0%241%7C2&TicketsSor
tBy=id&TicketsSortOrder=ASC&RowsPerPage=50

If I use “Priority is equal to” or “Priority is not equal to”, then the
Bookmarkable URL works fine.

Anyone else experience this? Is this fixed in newer releases? I’ve
searched the list but didn’t find a mention of this.

We’re running RT 3.0.6 with PERL 5.8.0 on RedHat 9.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking, and I’m not sure if you
understand what that link does. Normally RT searches are done with
post, which means there’s no useful URL. The “bookmarkable URL” link
is just a link to the current search with GET parameters, such that
you could bookmark the page. It doesn’t do any fancy javascript tricks
to bookmark it for you.

RT has saved searches. You can create searches and then
your users just jave to 'Load" them in the search
interface.
