Improvement to search box

Post by cwm9 »

Please add multiple search boxes than can be individually enabled and disabled, the entirety of which can be made visible or not visible with a pin. There should be a +/- icon to add/remove additional boxes.

That way I can have something like:

Main search box: basic search term
Extra1: !size=0
Extra2: !path=somepath

and I can rewrite the basic search term repeatedly without accidentally wiping out the search flags. I can also keep commonly used search flags around and turn them on and off. The extra search boxs should be selectively visible, toggled with a pin icon.

Code: Select all

A search builder (multiple items with +/-) is on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.
