[QGIS-Developer] Locator questions

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi, 

I am starting to explore the new locator widget (the one in the bottom
left in the status bar (thanks Nyall!)) and have some questions: 

My questions are around the feature filter of the active layer, prefixed
with "f": 

 	* In what attributes is it actually searching? In any attribute?
 	* Could I prefix in which attribute I want to search?
 	* What if I want to search in attributes that have a represent_value
(e.g. a relation reference widget) - meaning I don't want to search for
internal code, but human-readable values stored in another table? I am
specifically refering to the relation reference widget.
 	* How would I display the result of a non-spatial table? Could we, if
the layer is non-spatial, open the feature form when I click on a result
in the result list?
 	* Is there somewhere some documentation around how to best use the
locator (in general, not restricted to finding features)? I don't think
that everything is self-explanatory.

Thanks for any information around the locator and maybe for some answers
to my above questions! 

Greetings, 

Andreas
