(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It
was known there as bug #347577
http://scopus.netscape.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=347577
Imported into Bugzilla on 04/20/99 17:52)
When you do a search on a parent folder or on a parent parent folder you
get the results in a window which consists of several columns like:
Subject|Sender|Date|Priority|Location
So assume you have a hierarchy of folders like:
taddei.mailbox.cern.ch
INBOX
sent-mail
Foo1
bar1
Foo2
bar2
Bar3
foo3
when you search on the root, you might find messages into bar1 and foo3
and the problem is that the search will only display bar1 or foo3 in the
Location column. This is incomplete because you would like to have the
"path" being prepended. For users who have huge collections of several
hundred of folders hierarchically organized this is very hard to find back
under which collection is this or that folder displayed in the location
bar.
In addition it sould probably be clickable such that you could open
directly the concerned folder such that you can "jump" in it.
Here many people start to use the mail system as their PRIMARY information
system and they expect a high level integration and ways to retrieve more
easily information and its context in this case a folder. It helps them
grouping and organizing their data more easily which will be, when we will
add teh possibility to view more public shared folders, a real must to get
this feature absolutely right.

Alecf is doing the search UI and mscott is doing the backend. Why don't you guys
talk this over and decide if it's (a) a good idea and (b) doable. It isn't
obvious to me that we want to show the path all the time, but maybe in the title
tip for the search result.

Of course, we already do this.

I believe search front end won't happen until after PR1. If so, this bug should
be fixed after PR1.

OK with apr16 commercial trunk build and mac OS 9.0, win98 and linux rh6.0.
Any specific problems with the location column will be logged separately.
