[Developers] Filtering topics

[Dan Milbrath]

This is a shortcoming of the current filtering interface. There is no way to put in operators or ranges for dates or integers. My impression is that you can find exact matches, but it is string matching in this case.

We hope to address that with the redesign of the filter UI that is about to get underway. If all goes well, this new design should be available in April/May.

We have a "Quality" field. The field is an integer. In the left hand
side there is a "Filter Results". But I don't see anyway to either put
a number in there and find the matches, nor to put a constraint in
like >90.

Is there a way to do the searching from the UI?  Why does it seem to
be searching for topic names in that field?
