The wait and click-it part is being resolved- that was a bug where you had
to select it to actually get the correct project- it couldn't just be
typed. Yes, if you are looking for stories from a certain project- you want
to restrict the search by adding the project- same way you do in gerrit. If
you feel like the search results aren't showing as many as you think there
should be- you can adjust the setting to show more results.

I suppose we could add some sort of natural language process thing where
with the results it says searching for 'y' in project 'x' (where you put x
and y into the search- x as the project and y as the term as you did in the
description above). Not sure if that would help?

I think the search is a lot more intelligent than people assume and so it
seems difficult to deal with until you figure out how it works. Checking
out the api docs on search might be helpful[1]?

Advanced search is the magnifying glass icon on the left navigation bar
(assuming you are using the webclient interface at storyboard.o.o) which I
think is what you were describing using above. The search in the top right
of the webclient is just a jump to quick search.

I think a lot of Zane's comment's have already been addressed, but I can go
reply on that thread too and hopefully clear up some of the concerns/fears.

Hopefully- it will be a stein release goal so it wouldn't be that big a
deal if you waited, but ideally, if there aren't any real blockers for your
team, the sooner the better.
