Re-introducing search in Boards, and introducing search in Collections

Are there any plans to make this part of the URL?
Aka, when i choose to search by a specific query, it’s added to the URL under the “q” param:
https://app.getguru.com/search?q=tacos

If I want to search for this with a specific tag in mind, the tag_id is added under the “t” param:
https://app.getguru.com/search?q=tacos&t=1694ec0c-7df9-4f45-bccb-78e5843671e2

But when you search within a collection, nothing is added meaning I can’t share a link with someone to show all the results for a search within a specific collection, I have to instruct them on how to replicate the same if I want to share all the results with them (aka here’s everything in XYZ collection related to “tacos”).

would love if this was a thing, Collection searching is great but it’s limited rn in the sense i can’t share a URL of results with someone.

Hi @hyenaspam, 

We haven’t looked at adding this to the search experience from within a collection, however we are in the midst of adding more filters to the “general” search experience (the search bar at the top of the web app), and as part of that work we’re looking at expanding what makes it into the URL so that filter settings are shareable. I can’t say 100% we’ll get to it right away but it is on our list to look at in that work and I agree there’s utility in it!  

hi @Laura Desmond-Black 

Thanks so much for getting back to me. That’s good to know and no worries if it doesn’t make the list. As mentioned, it’s easy enough to instruct others how to do it so that’s the path I’m going with for now but would love if this does become a thing. One other thing I’d ask to be considered is the Boards but I totally get these are things that might not happen.

Thank you!

Is there a way to clear recent search results in the new “Search for Cards in [Collection]” search bar that was introduced last month? 

It would be nice to have the same or similar ability to clear recent searchedsas we do for the main search bar pictured below.

 

@Linda Moore sorry no one replied. I don’t think we’re maintaining recent searches for the within-collection view so there wouldn’t be anything to clear. Maybe I’m missing something?

@hyenaspam - it doesn’t apply to the knowledge view discussed here, but we were able to release the URL update I mentioned a few weeks ago today. Check out my comment on this post for details. 

Hi @Laura Desmond-Black Thank you for replying! 

Are you saying we should have the” X” presented to clear recent search results when using the “Search in [Collection]” search bar on left the left navigation?  I checked this morning and I do not. I only have the ability to clear recent results in the main “Search for Cards” search bar. 

This issue: As an author, not being able to clear out previous search results blocks the ability to easily access and use the the add cards inside board/section features.

Hi @Linda Moore, 

Whoops I had a typo in my last message, I meant we have the ‘x’ for the main search bar and the search bar in the knowledge view.

What I see in your last screenshot doesn’t look like built-in Guru functionality to me, the way it isn’t aligned to the left side of the search bar makes me especially suspicious. I wonder if this is your browser trying to be helpful and suggesting things you’ve typed into the field before. What browser / OS are you on? I’m on a Mac and I don’t have that dropdown in either Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. @Omar Carrasco, perhaps I’m remembering incorrectly, but I don’t think we built anything for maintaining recent searches in this search experience?
