Hello Natalie,
I'm getting an error "AttributeError: 'StateColumn' object has no attribute 'get_filter'" if I search anything on the sequencing request page. Searching specifically within the Name search or Description search does work though. Is this a known bug or did I possibly miss setting up something in my Galaxy Instance?
Yes, this was a known bug, and it has been fixed in changeset 3548:ff39f033ce68.
Also, that search, which is currently not working for me, it only searches the information the sequencing requests page, right?
Yes, it searches the name and description of each request.
I'd like to request being able to search the requests for something within the request or have some where of quickly determining the information of the sample with the requests without browsing to each one.
I've created a bitbucket issue for this: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/303/search-within-sequencin... . You may follow the progress there.
Thanks Ramkrishna
