feature request: add filter for unicode block / script
Submitted by Sebastian Lisken
Link to original bug (#780925)
Description
I think that the following would be an absolutely useful enhancement: The title display that says “Unicode Block“ or “Script“ (depending on the “View By“ setting) should become an input field much like the search fields in modern web forms. In its initial state, the field is empty and shows the same text as now, as a search hint. On entering the field and typing a character, the hint disappears and the list of blocks or scripts gets restricted to those whose name contains the content of the filter field as a substring (case-insensitive matching). Whenever the field content changes, the filter is updated, and if the field becomes empty, the hint reappears. Whenever the field is non-empty, an icon is shown that can be clicked on to empty the field.
