Filter panel is always hidden, despite the hidesearch parameter value in url

[Ashark]

On the status pages the panel with filters is always hidden. I cannot control it via parameter in url.

Thruk 2.34-2 - OMD 3.30-labs-edition

To Reproduce

1. Go to any page with host status, for example 'https://mon.yourdomain.com/thruk/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=yourhost1'
2. You see that filter panel is collapsed.
3. Add "&hidesearch=0" to url and reload page.
4. You see that filter panel is still collapsed.
5. You can show filter panel with a small button, but after page reloading, it will again be collapsed.

Expected behavior I want to be able to see uncollapsed filter panel, so I can easily see which filters are on the displayed page (i.e. service name, host name, etc...).

Desktop:

• Browser chromium
• Version 88.0.4324.96

Additional context According to this page, the hidesearch parameter is what I am looking for. But when I add it to url and set it to 0, the page still renders with filter panel collapsed.

As a temporary workaround, I have created a user script for ViolentMonkey with this line of code: toggleFilterPane('dfl_'); this is a function that is called when click on that collapse/uncollapse button.

I have read in that page that hidesearch values may be 1 or 2. I have tried 0, 1 and 2, but nothing works (pane is always hidden).

As far as i remember, this feature is not supported by the Thruk2 theme (which is the default) because it overlaps the data table. This parameter is a relic from older days when the filter did not overlap. I see two options here, either set a descriptive title parameter, so you can read what the filter is about, or try to adjust the template to make some space for the filter to be permanently visible.

Thanks for the answer

either set a descriptive title parameter, so you can read what the filter is about

The problem is that I also want to edit filters, so when tinkering with regular expressions, I do not need to reopen the panel every time.

or try to adjust the template to make some space for the filter to be permanently visible

Can you explain in more detail what you mean?

what i meant is adjust the templates/_status_filter.tt file to do different things on the hidesearch variable. Like not add the display:none for the filter table.
