Hi,<br>
<br>
I'd rather prefer to have this as a setting somewhere instead of being interrupted in the search by a popup. Just as in web applications, in regular applications popup windows should be avoided, if possible.<br>
<br>
I think this could be a setting/option that should be saved in the project file, either<br>
<br>
* per dataset<br>
* per column<br>
* project setting<br>
* global setting (already possible now)<br>
<br>
In one of the recent check-ins from yesterday or today, Jürgen Fischer added a setting in "Options" --> "General" --> "Representation of NULL values" which allows for arbitrary strings to mean "NULL". One can use NULL in his own language, or as a number -9999, or whatever one likes.<br>
<br>
I think you should use this setting for the NULL searches and don't ask the user each and every time he is searching for NULL. This setting doesn't change frequently, so I think it is ok as a global setting, or maybe also a per project or dataset/column setting which can overwrite the global setting.<br>
<br>
Just my two cents,<br>
<br>
Thanks for working on it!<br>
<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Radio button one is probably more appropriate in this case.<br>

Hello Tim,<br>
<br>
I am working on the ticket <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/2974" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/2974</a> .<br>
The ticket deals with Attribute search, as there can be three ways of NULL<br>
searches were possible.<br>
<br>
i.e 1) searching records with NULL values.<br>
<br>
2) searching records containing NULL as text string.<br>
<br>
3) Both<br>
<br>
The above ticket can be fixed by designing a New Widget displaying<br>
the above options. If the user has entered NULL in the Search string Edit<br>
box in the attribute table dialog the particular Widget could Pop up to ask<br>
user’s choice and the result will display the selected records.<br>
<br>
I have attached two screenshots containing two designs for the particular<br>
Pop up Widget. Can you please have a look at it and let me know whether this<br>
suggestion is fine or not?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Sunil<br>

I believe he is talking about null as in no value. This is the kind<br>
of behavior that I would use.<br>

Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
I am working on the below ticket. While proceeding I came through with<br>
a question, whether we should deal the particular bug either with "null"<br>
which means no value or with "null" which is a text null ?<br>
