Description Eugene Kuleshov

With existing repository providers for Bugzilla, Trac and Jira it should be possible to create a default query against all registered task repositories. Such queries could use text from the "Find" 
field as a basic quick search term. Those queries could be run in a background and results perhaps should be shown in a separate virtual "Quick Find" category that will be populated lazily.

Other option. Instead of showing results in Task List, kick such query into the Search view (i.e. if user hit Ctrl-Enter in the "Find" field).

So, to support this we'll need some kind of API to get the query instance for basic "quick find" from each repository provider type.

Mik, the whole point for this is to be able to kick a global repository search without going trough query dialog

Will consider as part of improving the search story for 3.0.

No plans to revise the Search UI for 3.0, since we're focusing on API changes.

This could be in-lined into the additional line that appears below the Task List when find text is present if we had an elegant way of providing a way to change the selected repository.
