Be able to search ideas

By Rebecca Hall on 2 Mar 2016

Be able to search ideas so you can check for duplicates. This would be a free text field.

As has been stated several times previously, just click the little magnifying glass icon on the top right heading of any page. When the search returns, one of the tabs is Ideas which is exactly what you are asking for.

Hope this helps,
Curt

Just think this way we could actualy search for others ideia... As it is today I had to search with google to know if a ideia was already sugested or not... Like the forum has a searchbar to discovery already made questions, the same could be made here :-)

I (and others) have answered this frequently. If you click on the magnifying glass icon in the page header towards the right and enter your search term you will see a tab in the results for Ideas. Click on that and you'll see the results.

Hope this helps,

Curt

Not sure on what is the type of search that you're referring to but, in the search box, you can search on the ideas section.

Does this help?

Add open text search in ideas section so that you can search existing ones. This would help prevent duplicates. The other search at the top is creat but you get everything else too.

Would be nice to have something like in the Forge Tab, text search, plus select status (done, etc), maybe in the future also category.

Sorry guys, but I have to be honest: Ideas are a mess!

Why can't I search an Idea? If I have an Idea, I want to search if someone else have added it before and give it a Like and/or Comment.

Or simply get a feeling of which Ideas are out there regarding Web Blocks or Simple Queries or whatever...

It would improve the experience.

The search in the top-right of the screen searches Ideas. Just do your search and you can then narrow it down to "Ideas" (or "Forge", etc.).

You are right Justin. Shame on me.
Putting myself on the users shoes, anyway, this is not intuitive... If I search from the Ideas page I should be redirected to a search result with "Ideas" tab being shown, not the "All" tab.

The same happens with the forum. So many times I want to search for a topic and I get the "All" tab. I've clicked hundreds of times in the "Forums" tab because that's what I was looking for in the first place...

Anyway I believe Search has much to improve, as we could search Ideas based on the topic/tag which doesn't exist... only in forums. We can't search just the Ideas that have been implemented: "Done".

These are to me basic choices for a search, considering that there are now hundreds of Ideas already. It wouldn't add much complexity and is fairly easy to implement.
If this helps improve feedback/Ideas from the users, then OutSytems can gain also, which means all of us.

Ok, now you have an idea but need the abilty to search for already submitted ideas that are the same.

The search component in the header of each page searches the entire site, including Ideas. When the search page is shown, click the Ideas button and you see the result for Ideas only. What else do you need?

It would be nice to have a search on ideas to find similar ideas before adding new.

I think this has been proposed before, but you probably could search for it . That said, you can first use the global search, then click Ideas to filter. Not ideal, but it's there:

In fact, the top search for "search in ideas" is the Idea I had in mind. I'm going to merge this idea with it, but it is marked as "Solved", so don't hold your breath for changes :).
