Search a Repository

[paulsonder]

As a User, I want to search inside a Repository so that I can query content related to Concepts or Mappings. If I am the owner, I may then want to make edits or bulk edits to that content.

So I can achieve this, I may need the following features:

Search in page functionality:

• Search results, including in hierarchical or grouped display
• Skip through results
• Highlight matches
• Clear search from page
• View search results when paginated

Here's a video with an early idea to distinguish between searching a Repository via Global Search and searching whilst remaining on the page.

@paulsonder Could you explain these two points a little more? I think I understand the rest.

I think this idea overall seems to work well for someone who wants to interact with content on the page "quickly" as opposed to searching content more "thoroughly" (i.e. rerunning the search query).

One thought that I do have: we currently support bold formatting on search results that highlight why the search result appeared. Do you think that this proposed feature is distinct enough from that if we were to support the bold formatting in v3?

Current v3 gaps that will need to be addressed once this gets into development:

• Results are limited to 10,000 in a repo's details pages
• Owner chip should include avatar
• Add latest released version ID column
• Enhance Searchlight with Repository search (i.e. specifically search for repositories)

Note that these were also called out in #1866 - there might be some overlap between tickets
