Enhance Email Search Functionality with 'Contains...' Logic and Direct 'Enter' Search Capability
Francis Dedrie
In the current implementation of the email search functionality within ArtCloud, users are required to select auto-suggested email addresses for search queries to yield results. This necessitates exact matches from the beginning of the email and does not support partial or middle-string searches, reducing flexibility and increasing the time needed to locate information.
Suggestion:
Implement 'Contains...' Search Logic: I propose enhancing the email search to include a 'Contains...' logic. This change will allow users to enter any part of an email address in the search field and receive relevant results. For example, typing 'studio' should yield addresses like john@artstudio.com or studio@creativearts.net, enhancing the search flexibility and efficiency.
Enable Direct 'Enter' to Execute Search: Additionally, integrating the ability to press 'Enter' after typing a search query would align ArtCloud with standard search behaviors seen in web browsers and other professional software. This functionality allows users to quickly confirm the presence of an email address without waiting for and selecting from auto-suggestions, streamlining the search process.
By adopting these enhancements, ArtCloud would significantly improve user experience, align with common digital interaction standards, and support more efficient data retrieval, particularly in environments where quick information access is critical. This proposal aims to make the platform more intuitive and user-friendly, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the search functionality.
