feat: search translation comments with the comment: qualifier - #4038
New comment: qualifier in the translations search: comment:copywriter finds keys with a translation comment containing "copywriter", and -comment:copywriter excludes them.
Backed by new filterCommentPattern / filterNoCommentPattern parameters on the translations, select-all and trash endpoints. They use the same pattern grammar as the other filter…Pattern parameters: contains by default, * wildcards, = for exact match, case-insensitive, literal % and _, and commas kept verbatim.
Like translation:, only comments on translations in the returned languages count, so every matched comment is visible in the list. The negated form keeps keys without any comments.
comment: shows up in the qualifier suggestions and the search syntax help popover.
Regenerated apiSchema.generated.ts.
Why
Comments could only be filtered by whether they exist ("has comments"). A user who remembered roughly what a comment said, but not which key it was on, had no way to find it. Adding a scoped qualifier makes comment search available without touching the plain search box, so plain-search queries cost the same as before.
The comment subquery reuses QueryTranslationFiltering.buildCommentExists. It now takes an extra predicate, the same way buildTranslationExists does, and the "has unresolved comments" filter passes its state condition through it.
Tests
TranslationsControllerPatternFilterTest: matching in any returned language, ignoring languages that aren't returned, several patterns matched by different comments, shared grammar (commas, %, = with *), both negation cases, select-all, and the empty pattern returning 400. ScopedSearchTestData now has a few translation comments.
Webapp unit tests for the parser, request params and suggestions.
Cypress scopedSearch.cy.ts: searches only in translation comments. I didn't run the Cypress suite locally.
Also checked against a running backend: filterCommentPattern=COPYWRITER found the commented key, languages=en hid a German-only comment, copywriter, 100% ok matched literally, filterNoCommentPattern=legal kept the key without comments, and an empty pattern returned filter_pattern_not_valid.
The scoped search docs page could get a comment: row as well.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added comment: search to find translations with matching comments, including support for negated searches and multiple patterns.
Comment searches apply to the languages selected for the translation results; translations without comments match negated searches.
Added a comment-search hint to the search syntax help and included comment: in search suggestions.
Comments could only be filtered by whether they exist, so a user who
remembers what a comment said but not which key it was on had no way to
find it.
Add a `comment:` qualifier to the scoped translation search, backed by
new `filterCommentPattern` / `filterNoCommentPattern` parameters on the
translation, select-all and trash endpoints. The parameters use the same
pattern grammar as the other `filter...Pattern` parameters (contains,
`*` wildcards, `=` exact match, case-insensitive, literal `%` and `_`)
and match comments on translations in the returned languages, like
`translation:` does. `-comment:` keeps keys without a matching comment,
including keys without any comments. Commas are kept verbatim.
The plain search box is unchanged, so its query cost stays the same.
The qualifier shows up in the search suggestions and the syntax help.
The comment subquery reuses the existing `buildCommentExists` helper,
which now takes an extra predicate, like `buildTranslationExists`.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The change adds comment: search to translation search. Positive and negated patterns are passed to backend filters, which match comment text in selected languages. UI help, fixtures, controller tests, and an end-to-end test are updated.

Summary
Parse and map the comment qualifier webapp/src/views/projects/translations/searchQuery/*, webapp/src/views/projects/translations/TranslationHeader/search/*
The search parser recognizes comment and maps positive and negated values to comment-pattern request parameters. Search suggestions and syntax help include the qualifier.
The request accepts verbatim comment-pattern lists. Backend filtering checks comment text in selected languages and applies positive or negated predicates. The comment-existence helper accepts an optional predicate, which is also used to filter unresolved comments.

Comment search is mostly sound. A few edge cases remain open: a project with a language tagged comment, patterns over the limits, and negated comment filters with no returned languages. These are minor and can be handled in follow-up work.

Explanation
The title "feat: search translation comments with the comment: qualifier" matches the main change. The PR adds a comment: qualifier to translation search, plus the filterCommentPattern and filterNoCommentPattern API parameters. The title is short, specific, and states the primary change from the developer's perspective. It does not cover the negated form or the select-all and trash endpoints, which is expected for a title.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#4033] The issue requires search by translation comment content. The PR adds the comment: qualifier. The webapp maps positive comment: values to filterCommentPattern and negated values to filterNoCommentPattern (buildSearchRequestParams.ts, parseSearchQuery.ts). The backend adds both parameters to TranslationFilters and VERBATIM_LIST_PARAMS. QueryGlobalFiltering applies them through buildCommentExists, which checks comment text in the returned languages. The change set includes backend tests (TranslationsControllerPatternFilterTest), webapp unit tests, and a Cypress test (scopedSearch.cy.ts). Search suggestions and the syntax help expose the qualifier. Comment tagging and @user mentions, which the issue excludes, are not implemented. The ignored generated file apiSchema.generated.ts is excluded from review. This does not affect the verdict, because the backend parameters and webapp mapping are visible in reviewable sources. The Cypress test was not run by the author, so its result is unverified. The docs page row mentioned in the PR description is non-coding and does not affect the verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
[#4033] The reviewable changes support comment-content search. The filter parameters, the query filtering, and the comment-existence refactoring (buildCommentExists now accepts an extra predicate, and the unresolved-comments filter passes NEEDS_RESOLUTION through it) are required for the feature. Its behavior for the unresolved filter is unchanged. The fixture additions in ScopedSearchTestData, the tests, the qualifier hints, the suggestions, and the search help are needed to test and expose the qualifier. The generated API schema is a generated artifact of the new parameters. No unrelated change is shown in the reviewable summary.

Allow negated comment filters with no returned languages.
When no languages are returned, filterNoCommentPattern returns 400 instead of selecting the eligible keys. No comment can match in that case. Skip the negated filter after validating its patterns.
