Ability to set default scope

[spacentropy]

Hello!
I would like to be able to set default scope, because 99% of my searches are in our organization.
For now I partially fixed it by changing browser's search engine autocompletion (change it to https://cs.github.com?scopeName=<your_scope>&scope=org%3A<org_name>&q=%s), but in cs.github.com I still have to change the scope all the time.

Thanks

Agree. Maybe could have multiple presets - org-only and else.

99% I also want org-only search, and get baffled when repo:my-repo yields no results for /my-repo errors.

@spacentropy @robinp-tw great suggestion, I've heard this requested a few times. I added an option to set a default scope from the homepage:

Once you select a scope, you can set it as your default. Then, when you return to cs.github.com, it'll automatically select that scope.

Hey @colinwm ! Thanks for the quick response! An observation on slightly split behavior though:

Indeed, now going to cs.github.com does fix the default scope, and search works well (it sticks the ?scope=org%myorg&scopeName=myorg to the request url)

But when I do direct search from browser's search query engine support (start writing cs in url bar, when cs.github.com comes up, press TAB, then type search query), then the UI indicates a repo filter of myorg visually, but the results are still unrestricted (and the url doesn't have that restrict).

@robinp-tw Great point, I didn't consider that case! I've fixed this now 😄

Works like a charm, thank you Colin!
