V9 find orders search not working

[brucet]

We're always cautious about committing to bug fixes, each report goes into the pot and we prioritise fixes in each release according to a number of factors - including how severe the bug is, how likely it is to occur, how many people have reported it and whether there is a workaround.

I will certainly push for this one to be fixed soon, I just can't promise when.

In future we are considering bringing out more frequent releases with fewer fixes in each, though we haven't finally decided about that. The benefits would be that some fixes could be released sooner, and each release would carry less risk. The disadvantages are, some users don't like many frequent releases; plus there is a fixed overhead to each release because each has to be built, documented, tested etc., so it could mean slightly fewer bugs fixed overall in the long term.

Hi

I did actually nominate this as my bug fix for 9-0-5, it's a real pain. But if you use the search facility within the new order tab ie go to place an offline order and choose has shopped before, that search works a dream on keywords or postcodes anything.

if you were to incorporate patches into the software so actinic can go check to see if it needs patching (like firefox/thunderbird does) this would help tremendously and keep people up to date. You might even get less calls to support as people would be less likely to not know about the need to upgrade and would not be calling about bugs fixed - where the solution is to upgrade.
