When I use filter to select some cases in my FogBugz (for example cases that active and assigned to me) I get ordered list of all cases that matches the filter. I also can easily change the filter (e.g. instead of all cases assigned to me, select all cases assigned to John Smith) alt text

But if I want do the same via search, I can't refine the results (even if my selection was a filter - see example)

status:"active" assignedto:"Slava [    ]" type:"cases" orderby:"Priority"

Result: alt text

As you can see in the second example I can't refine the filter, but I expect that the result should be the same. (because I use the meta-language as status, assignedto, etc...) Why I can translate the search string to filter representation?

Thanks, Slava

Filter and search seem to be two separate things. A filter can contain a search. A search can contain search axes, but those are not a filter. So "even if my selection was a filter": unfortunately it's not like that. It would be great if the search text would be converted into a (refinable) filter! Not possible for all searches (like with OR), but for the most common. – Michel de Ruiter Sep 4 2011 at 19:55
