Description Kay Schröer CLA 2017-04-30 00:43:27 EDT 
I can't find the entry "Expand all" in the context menu of the search view so I'm not be able to expand the whole tree of results.

"Expand All" is in the toolbar
Comment 2 Kay Schröer CLA 2017-10-03 20:26:22 EDT 
The problem is that especially users of a screenreader can't interact with a toolbar because there are only icons no text. So it would be nice to have this function back in the context menu.
Comment 3 Karsten Thoms CLA 2017-10-04 02:47:58 EDT 
If this is the case, aren't there tons of other functionality that also miss this requirement also? We could add it to context menu. But what with other actions? And maybe it should be configurable by preference to have larger context menus only when required?
Comment 4 Kay Schröer CLA 2017-10-07 16:01:49 EDT 
The function "Expand all" is that, I was currently miss the most.

A new setting option is fine, I just do not know if for a single function this effort is worthwhile?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
