            Bug ID: 141777
           Summary: LO Writer: in dialog for insertion of cross-reference,
                    allow user to filter for the number of the target
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: christianw_lehmann at arcor.de

Description:
In the dialog window for the insertion of a cross-reference, the text that the
user typed in the Selection field is currently sought at any position of the
paragraphs of the selected Type. As a consequence, if the user wishes to refer
to a numbered paragraph and proceeds to identify the target for the reference
by its number, not only paragraphs bearing this number, but all numbered
paragraphs containing the number somewhere are offered in the list of possible
targets.
Likewise, if Headings is chosen as the Type of target and the user types the
number of a heading, all headings whose number contains the number searched
for, even in non-first position, are offered.
Enhancement: Allow the user to limit the search for targets to those that start
with the number typed in.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ALT-I.
2. Cross-reference
3. Type: numbered paragraphs
4: Selection: [type in the number of the paragraph wanted]

Actual Results:
In the list field below, all numbered paragraphs containing the number that was
input in the Selection field are listed.

Expected Results:
Only those paragraphs whose number starts with the one searched for should be
listed.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This enhancement has been discussed in Bug 141398.
'Number' refers to the elements that LO Writer can use for numbering of
paragraphs. The stepwise narrowing down of the list of targets by sequential
typing in more digits may be relevant only to decimal numbering.
