Subject: Search summaries by thread?
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2019 21:56:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7ae8e9d2-babd-3780-36ce-92a86154b4e0@iee.org> (raw)

Hi,

I often use the https://public-inbox.org/git/ search facility.

A recent query https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=precious highlighted that 
it may be useful to have a search summary that also summarises by thread.

In this case it should greatly reduce the number of 'hits' because many 
belong to communal threads, e.g. the "mergetool: what to do about 
deleting precious files?" thread.

Is this something that could be considered?
