openHAB 4.0 wishlist

oh. and because I’m struggling with that again :

  • implement a search over UI-based entities like
    ** rules
    ** scripts
    ** items
    ** things

This must not be one search over all, but within each type.
Use cases:

  • Searching for the rule(s) in which an item gets updated
  • Searching for the metadata of items to perform mass updates on those

With file-based configuration, this can be done on OS-level, but I’d like to search for that within “rules” on UI-level also - as there’s no other (feasible) way to search in rules/items/… definitions in UI.
