Simple search

The simple search bar in Conseil is simple but powerful. If you type an integer only (or an integer preceded by the # symbol) Conseil will directly open the related bug. If the first word of your search is a known package in the current BTS, Conseil will only display bug related to this package and do a search on those bug with the rest of your string. If none of those rules apply, then it will perform a simple search.

The search "evolution crashes" will return all bugs related to the package evolution that contain the word "crashes". The search "crashes evolution" will look for a package called "crashes". As there is no such package, it will return all bugs that contain the two words.

Opening the bug in a web browse

Simply click on the title of the bug in the bug tab. See, there's an Internet icon. Your default gnome web browser will open.

Bookmarks

Click on the add button when looking at a tab you want to remember. (this can be a bug tab or a search tab) Conseil will remember this search (or this bug) so it is easily accessible for you. You can give a friendly name to a bookmark by right-clicking > rename. You can also reorder your bookmarks by simple drag-n-drop.

Double clicking on a bookmark open it.
