Description

This PR implements frontend improvements for the Advanced Search feature as requested in #2764. The changes improve user experience, error handling, and add new UI components to make searching plugin reports more efficient.

Key improvements:

  • Fixed all TypeScript errors in search components
  • Implemented better error handling (errors no longer clear existing data)
  • Enhanced name field with searchable dropdown for plugins
  • Added datetime format helpers and tooltips
  • Enabled table filters on multiple columns
  • Improved pagination error recovery

Type of change

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality).

Changes Made

1. Fixed TypeScript Errors

  • Resolved type checking errors in ReportsSearch.jsx
  • Fixed validation error property names (startTime/endTimefromStartTime/fromEndTime)
  • Added proper @ts-ignore suppressions where needed
  • Added JSDoc type annotations

2. Improved Error Handling & Pagination

  • Before: Errors would clear all data and break the UI
  • After: Errors show in dismissible alerts, data is preserved
  • Pagination errors now revert to previous page instead of clearing results
  • Added error state management with user-friendly messages
  • Better console logging for debugging

3. Enhanced Name Field

  • Before: Plain text input
  • After: Searchable ReactSelect dropdown
  • Shows all available plugins (Analyzers, Connectors, Pivots) with their types
  • Sorted alphabetically for easy access
  • Clearable and searchable for better UX

4. Improved DateTime Fields

  • Added tooltips showing expected format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM)
  • Added title attributes for accessibility
  • Fields remain manually editable

5. Added Table Filters

  • Enabled enableFilters: true in table config
  • Added DefaultColumnFilter to Analyzable and Name columns
  • Added SelectOptionsFilter to Type and Status columns with appropriate options
  • Users can now pivot within search results

Files Changed

  • frontend/src/components/search/ReportsSearch.jsx - Main search component improvements
  • frontend/src/components/search/searchTableColumns.jsx - Added filters to table columns
  • frontend/src/components/search/searchApi.jsx - Added JSDoc types

Testing Notes

Note: The Advanced Search feature requires Elasticsearch to be configured on the backend. The frontend improvements are complete and will work once Elasticsearch is enabled. Without Elasticsearch, the API returns 501 Not Implemented, which is expected and handled gracefully by the new error handling.

All frontend improvements can be visually verified:

  • Searchable plugin name dropdown
  • DateTime format tooltips
  • Table column filters
  • Error alerts (instead of crashes)

- Fixed TypeScript errors in search components
- Improved error handling and pagination (errors no longer clear data)
- Enhanced name field with searchable plugin dropdown
- Added datetime format helpers and tooltips
- Enabled table filters on Analyzable, Name, Type, and Status columns
- Added JSDoc types for better type safety
- Better UX with dismissible error alerts

Pull request overview

This PR improves the Advanced Search frontend for plugin reports by moving to page-by-page fetching (instead of downloading all pages up-front), enhancing the search form UX, and adding table filtering while improving error resilience.

Changes:

  • Refactored the search API and UI flow to support server-side pagination and preserve existing results on errors.
  • Upgraded the search form with a searchable plugin-name dropdown, URL param syncing, and datetime format tooltips.
  • Enabled column filters and added an “Analyzable” column in the results table.

pluginReportQueries always emits a toast on failure, but ReportsSearch also surfaces the same failure via the local error state + <Alert />. This will result in duplicate user-facing error notifications for the same failure. Consider letting the caller decide how to present errors (e.g., remove the toast here, or add an optional flag/callback to suppress the toast when the caller shows an inline alert).

currentPage is updated in handlePageChange (and reverted on error), but it is never passed into DataTable as a controlled page index. As a result, the “revert to previous page on error” logic may not actually move the table back to the prior page, and autoResetPage={false} can also leave the table on a stale page index after a new search. Consider wiring pagination state to the table (controlled pageIndex/onPageChange) or re-enabling page reset on query changes so the UI page and fetched data stay consistent.

pageCount={Math.ceil(totalCount / tableInitialState.pageSize)}
pageCount={Math.ceil(totalCount / tableInitialState.pageSize)}
pageIndex={currentPage}

The inline comment says this effect “Skip[s] empty values and datetime fields that are still at defaults”, but the implementation only skips empty strings and will still write default datetime values into the URL. Either update the comment to match current behavior or extend the logic to actually omit default datetime values (to keep URLs shorter and reduce needless history churn).

Suggested change
Object.entries(formik.values).forEach(([key, value]) => {
// Skip empty values and datetime fields that are still at defaults
if (value && value !== "") {
const initialValues = formik.initialValues || {};
Object.entries(formik.values).forEach(([key, value]) => {
// Skip empty values and datetime fields that are still at defaults
const defaultValue = initialValues[key];
let isDefaultDateTime = false;
if (
typeof value === "string" &&
value !== "" &&
typeof defaultValue === "string" &&
defaultValue !== ""
) {
const parsedCurrent = Date.parse(value);
const parsedDefault = Date.parse(defaultValue);

.sort() is being called on an array of objects without a comparator. In JavaScript this sorts by stringifying the objects (effectively leaving the order unchanged and making the intent unclear). If ordering matters here, sort explicitly by option.label (or remove the sort since there are only two fixed options).
