I have one issue with supernotes that I keep stumbling upon, which is search. When I am looking for a specific piece of information my workflow is usually to open the universal search dialog, enter some keyworks and quickly scan the first results to see if I the looked-for card is listed. The issue is, that sometimes I am not sure which card to pick. So, what I would need would be the ability to browse through some or all cards in search results. Right now, I can open only one card, to the effect that the list of search results is destroyed.
I do have a valuable hierarchy that could help me in finding that piece of information, but I use that in other contexts, not when I do have a specific card in mind.
There is the ability to filter cards, but search isn’t fuzzy, and it’s only when I realize that universal search does not lead directly to where I want to be that I might consider filtering - but then I am already interacting with the universal search dialog, and there is no immediate way to transform a search to a filter, one that does not involve copying the search keywords.
How could one improve UX in these circumstances? This is not a rethorical question, I am not quite sure, but interested in an answer.
I do have one idea, though. It would be quite helpful if the universal search dialog was persistent. When I entered a search term, the search results would show. I would open a card,and realize it was the wrong one. I would then again Ctrl+K my way into the search dialog. According to my idea, I would find that the search keywords and results are still present.
As usual, I didn’t think this through regarding undesired side effects and different use cases.
Any thoughts?
