Description

Summary

Feedback from users of CheckUser-SuggestedInvestigations suggest that filtering for cases with a given account is important. We should add this functionality in an "MVP" version while we wait for the Design work on filters to complete

Background

Feedback has said that checkusers want to be able to find cases with a given user
- For example, if investigating a suspicious user outside the tool it may be useful to know if they are listed in a case
Design work on making filters in the CodexTablePager will take time and is currently in progress
- However, we don't want to block this on the design work and so should add a temporary initial implementation

Acceptance criteria

CheckUsers can filter CheckUser-SuggestedInvestigations cases for a specific known username using the query parameters of the URL

For QA I would suggest checking that adding ?username=X, where X is a name of an account listed at suggested investigations, causes only cases with user X to be shown in the pager

Dreamy_Jazz mentioned this in T411269: Suggested Investigations: Create initial status filters.Dec 10 2025, 6:11 PM

Test status: QA PASS

users are now able to do a filter through the URL using the username

the search result should come from the results already on the page

if the search is not available on the page then this should display "no result"
