The number of lists of which I am a member has been increasing. Most of them have “Stormweight” in the title. Pertinent titles for sure, but not so great when I’m scanning through my lists trying to find something. Stormweight Review, Stormweight Product Development, Stormweight Core Values… did I scroll past Stormweight Blog Topics already? Annoying.
Fortunately, Jacob’s been working on the site’s search capabilities. Now there’s a search bar at the top of my lists. It’s a little change, but it makes navigating the site much quicker. It works so well we’ve discussed putting one at the top of the dashboard drop down too. What do you think?
Within lists, searching has also become more sophisticated. As you create a new idea, typing into the title field searches all ideas to reduce reduplication. The original search bar is also more powerful. You can use it to view ideas by shared characteristic. For instance, typing “has:attachment” into the search bar hides the ideas in the all ideas column that do not have attachments. The handful of search terms you can use to sort ideas by characteristic are:
has:attachment
has:body
has:comment
is:mine
Are there other characteristics you’d like to be able to sort by?
I’m finding the new search capabilities useful. Give them a try and let us know how they work for you.
