In 452e226ea2 and
648a60baf6, we changed how `search:`
narrows work to:
(1) Never mark messages as read inside searches (search:)
(2) Take you to the bottom, not the first unread, if a `near:` or
similar wasn't specified.
This is far better behavior for these use cases, because in these
narrows, you can't actually see all the context around the target
messages, so marking them as read is counterproductive. This is
especially important in `has:mention` where you goal is likely
specifically to keep track of which threads mentioning you haven't
been read. But in many other narrows, the current behavior is
effectively (1) setting the read bit on random messages and (2) if the
search term matches many messages in a muted stream with 1000s of
unreads, making it hard or impossible to find recent search matches.
The new behavior is that any narrow that is structurally a search of
history (including everything that that isn't a stream, topic,
pm-with, "all messages" or "private messages") gets that new behavior
of being unable to mark messages as read and narrows taking you to the
latest matching messages.
A few corner cases of interest:
* `is:private` is keeping the old behavior, because users on
chat.zulip.org found it confusing for `is:private` to not mark
messages as read when one could see them all. Possibly a more
complex answer is required here.
* `near:` narrows are getting the new behavior, even if it's a stream:
+ topic: narrow. This is debatable, but is probably better than
what was happening before.
Modified significantly by tabbott for cleanliness of implementation,
this commit message, and unit tests.
Fixes#9893. Follow-up to #12556.
This commit was originally automatically generated using `tools/lint
--only=eslint --fix`. It was then modified by tabbott to contain only
changes to a set of files that are unlikely to result in significant
merge conflicts with any open pull request, excluding about 20 files.
His plan is to merge the remaining changes with more precise care,
potentially involving merging parts of conflicting pull requests
before running the `eslint --fix` operation.

Because of the separate declarations, ESLint would convert them to
`let` and then trigger the `prefer-const` error.

With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are
no longer needed.

When a user performs a search that might contain historical public
streams messages that the user has access to (but doesn't because
we're searching the user's own personal history), we add a notice
above the first search result to let the user know that not all
messages may have been searched.
Fixes#12036.
Add ability to search entire message history of all public streams at
once. It includes all subscibed, non subscribed public streams messages
and even historical public stream messages sent before user had joined
an organization or stream.
Fixes#8859.
This continues the effort to isolate "subject" references
to util calls.
Also, we fix a comment.
Finally, we use canonicalized operators in a switch
statement.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
Fixes#9492.
`is` operator uses predefined categories. This commit
displays an invalid operand message if the operand does not fall into
any of these categories and the `is` operator is not at the last.
e.g. `is:abc sender:abc@zulipchat.com` will have `invalid abc operand
for has operator, sent by abc@zulipchat.com` as a prefix for all its
suggestions.
`has` operator uses predefined categories. This commit displays an
invalid operand message if the operand does not fall in to any of
these categories and the `has` operator is not at the last.
e.g. `has:abc sender:abc@zulipchat.com` will have `invalid abc
operand for has operator, sent by abc@zulipchat.com` as a prefix for
all its suggestions.
We will use this to find the first id from a list of
message ids that matches a filter. (This will help us
during narrowing to determine whether we have at least
one good message locally, so that we can render something
useful before waiting for the server.)
This new API replaces some more specific functions that were
only recently introduced:
is_stream_only
is_stream_topic_only
is_pm_with_only
is_for_only
We use the deterministically sorted "term_type" values for
matching. (Notably "stream" will come before "topic".)
Zulip's search typeahead had a security bug, where when autocompleting
a specially crafted stream name, and then hitting space, code within
the stream name would be executed.
Zulip was doing HTML escaping correctly in the main code path using
Filter.describe to describe a narrow, but the escaping function was
not called in a few parallel code paths. We fix this in a way that
should protect all of these code paths, by making Filter.describe
return properly escaped HTML, rather than depending on its callers to
do so.
Thanks to w2w for reporting this issue.
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing. While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.
This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.
Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.
Previously, if the operand was an invalid email, the site would
throw a scary-looking browser error. Now, it has the same behavior
as other search exeptions, and simply returns no messages found.
This allows user to view all group private conversation messages
with a specific user. That is, it views all the the group private
messages from groups which include the given user.
Add search suggestion for group-pm-with. Add operator name
and description in "Search operators" tab.
Add change in tab name to "Group Messages" when using this operator.
Add frontend_tests for group-pm-with search operator.
Fixes: #3882.
Update variable name in static/js/filter.js from 'message_ids'
to 'user_ids' for better understanding. As it is an array of user
recipients of a particular message.
Fixes#3496. This was just a simple regex addition to filter
to accept the format `operand:"foo bar"` as a token. Also,
it will now accept an additional space after the separating colon.
