I think I am also missing the auto completion of search terms. Or I simply have to get used to the new way. Am I right that it's giving back the first three hits? Would be great to have the number configurable. |

Yea, I saw this request coming, Im not planning to make it disable-able at the moment, we'll see. Limerick-gh The search auto complete still works in the advanced search bar: #6449 (comment) Configuring the number of hits is something I thought about, wouldn't be too bad if folks are interested (a separate FR, I think) |

You are right, I missed that. Thanks for the hint. |

Thank you for the answer ! (I will take my use of it as an example; I am perhaps not an isolated case). Two points are really annoying:
I brutally summarize my frustration in an image, these buttons are causing me problems :-)
So, I stay in v2.7.2, the transition to v2.8.2 is really annoying for my use :-( We must realize the enormous work that must be involved in the development of this wonderful app, I am very grateful to you ! |

adding the "eye" preview button in the search would help? |

Yes, great idea ! |

Maybe we could convert it to an advanced search when enter is pressed? I normally just type a word on the search bar and hit enter. This does nothing now. |

Will have a think about this idea because I had thought of this issue and added the following to the initial implementation: currently, advanced search will be run (unless its disabled) and if it it returns > 3 results (the current limit) the button to open the full results will show to the right ("advanced search" button), so effectively you hit tab and then enter. It could be changed to just always show the button if there are > 0 results (presumably no point if there are 0) so at least that option is always there. I think it could potentially be surprising (in a not good way) if hitting enter a second time suddenly navigates to the advanced search, but that said I did include a little shortcut that hitting enter when theres exactly 1 result directly opens that doc. |

I really liked #6142 because it made working with the search bar more predictable and faster. This feels like a regression. The advanced search button should definitely always be shown. Populating the dropdown will always be a little slower than typing. Having to wait for a result I don't even want to look at before I can continue is frustrating. Hitting enter on a search box should always open a dedicated results page. I like the option of clicking a related suggestion sometimes, but this change gets in the way of just using search in its most basic way. To me, tab-enter is not a good workaround because I mostly use search on mobile, where tab isn't a thing. |

It's not wrong :-) search v2.7.2 was extremely convenient on mobile. |

I type the thing I'm searching for, wait for suggestions to appear (which produces an incomplete list, and shows no previews), then I have to click the Advanced search button, and then I actually get the search results I want. What was a two step process (type, enter) is now three, one step of which is literally just waiting for suggestions to appear on the screen and for the advanced search button to be available to even click (and also not by pressing enter on the keyboard). |

This PR #6674 changes things to always show the advanced search button and supports the I do appreciate change can be hard, I still believe this is a useful feature overall and I realize by definition this thread are folks who do not entirely agree. I had not thought enough about the basic search use case, which hopefully the PR above mitigates a bit but I see how thats changed. On the other hand, for things like "I just need to find that 1 doc and look at something" or "I want to see all the things from X correspondent" etc I think this reduces the overhead by a lot. In the end, people use the software in lots of different ways, it's pretty hard to know (guess) what is the 'greater benefit' overall. Im open to improving things, as you can see. Appreciate keeping the tone friendly here. |

what do u think about adding the "eye" button to be able to preview documents direclty out of the search without "destroying" the search. |

I’m not sure that i like it here to be honest, that preview button usually has a popover which wouldn’t work from a dropdown. But if it opened in a new tab or something I think it’d be confusing (ie inconsistent). But a possible enhancement of the feature would be customizability of the buttons (and more). Either way I also think it’s a separate FR :) |

A good compromise, I think. Thanks! |

Technically, how does Advanced Search work ? |

I tested v2.8.4 and I'm still not convinced :-) I type the word "CES" in the quick search, with v2.7.2, it offers me several words CES1 CES2... which allows me to quickly select CES2 for example. With v2.8.4, I have three choices :-( v2.7.2 v2.8.4 v2.8.4 "CES2" -> No result :-( I still don't understand the Advanced Search function |

Hi, Would it be possible to choose the search by "Title & content" rather than Advanced search ? I have to stay in v2.7.2 since the modification on global search. I really don't see where the gain is in terms of results... :-( Am I the only one ? |

As far as I understand it, without using the special keywords, advanced and "title and content" mostly differ in that the latter matches parts of words, i.e. |

Having "Title & content" as the default seems also more consistent with what we're doing elsewhere. For example, when you click "Reset filters" in the documents view, it automatically reverts to "Title & content". Cf. #6796 |

When I start typing the letters CES (electrical markers for the example), I know immediately that the markers CES1 CES2 CES3 CES4 exist, are known and indexed in the plans. (Sorry for my bas english) |

Description
Thanks for all that work !
Following changes #6449
Is it possible to disable this search functionality so that the display is equivalent to v2.7.2 ?
Having to open the documents is rather annoying for the use I make of them :-)
