Add a global search action
Currently, there isn't a way to search all indexed content. It would be great to make this feature available, in a way that's easily accessible, so people can jump to a search and access their files that way, without having to navigate first.
The latest designs for this look like this:
Some notable aspects of the design:
- Global search is a button in the header bar. This opens a search view and switches the search bar to a global scope.
- Global search is part of the navigation history - you can go back and forward to and from search.
- Ideally we'd have a way to convert a folder-specific search into a global one.
Ideally I'd like to find a keyboard shortcut to activate global search, too.
Full designs for this feature, along with how it relates to folder search, can be found here.
