|Feature functional spec=The preferences will be implemented as a single XHTML document that includes different sections for the various panes. The sections will be shown/hidden based on the search filter. | |||
There will be 7 predefined filters that will match the current sections of the preferences window. These filters will be presented as sidetabs when viewing preferences. | |||
Searching using the search box in the upper right will visually bring the view to search results sidetab but will not require a pageload. Sections of the page will be shown/hidden based on the matching of the filter. | |||
pushState/popState will be used to track navigation through the page and allow traditional back/forward navigation to continue to work. | |||
