Smart Searching
Created by: gracewashere
The long-term plan for the search bar is to support structured queries, to allow people to do complex searches over the data from a single field.
We'd like to support:
- Searching numeric fields for values greater than, less than, or equal to a given number
- Searching text fields for text including a given string
- Searching boolean fields by
trueorfalsevalue - More than one of these ^ in the same search
Bonus points for a scheme that will let us search custom field types using dev-defined strategies.
I want to open up a discussion about the best way to structure the search queries.
- If you know of other apps or projects that do multi-field search well, please share them for inspiration.
- If you have an opinion on what the query structure should look like, chime in!
