Nagios navbar search enhancement (Was: Questions about Nagios quick search)

[Jonas Meurer]

Hey,

I just prepared a patch against git master (commit 758a64). I hope that 
it helps. Don't hesitate to ask if you've any questions.

Also feel free to rename the config options if you don't like the names.

The patch is attached.

Kind regards,
  jonas
