Allow to search/filter Uploads list on Special:Myuploads by file title
Closed, DeclinedPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do):

Add a search box to Uploads list

Steps to reproduce (a list of clear steps to create the situation that made you report this, including full links if applicable):

Use case(s) (describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve, and not only a solution):

Often the user wants to search just inside these items.
Currently the only filter is "Username".
Therefore another textbox should be added, so e.g., the user could also filter by title, etc.

Event Timeline

Hi, what specifically does this ticket ask for? What exactly would you like to search for, and why?

I am saying, here the user is looking at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Jidanni&ilshowall=1
and is wondering 'Where is that picture with "Seeds" in the title, that I remember I uploaded?'

Well, if there was a search box (specially for this page, call it "Filter on title"), he could just enter "Seeds" in it,
and then this pictures shown would now only include e.g.,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seeds_clearly_visible_through_berry_skin_-_Taiwan.jpg

So this is a request to filter/search by *title*? "Adding a search box" (to search for what?) doesn't describe a specific problem to solve.

Yes.
Even https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search
cannot search for 'Files/Images uploaded by Jidanni with "seeds" in the title'.
Therefore on https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Jidanni&ilshowall=1 ,

This special page shows all uploaded files that have not been deleted; for
those see the upload log.

Please add, at the @@@ spot I marked above, new fields: 1. filter by title, 2. filter by content. I.e., a way to filter by text strings. Thanks.
Indeed, also filter by categories too. Hmmm, and a date range while you are at it.

Possible combine the search critiera with a (user) category containing the relevant files
