Card stack: possible tweaks to search

[damithc]

Some possible tweaks to the search feature:

1. Omit tags from search, as there is already a better mechanism to filter by tags?
2. Include card body in the search? This allows easy search even when keywords or a header are not provided (most likely keywords will be a rarely used feature, used only when the user wants to support search by synonyms or when the body does not have text).

My opinion is that the more search parameters in the search field, the better the search result. In this case, I feel that adding tags to the search field can help improve on search efficiency. Though polluting the search space with too many parameters can also make search results inefficient.

In this case, I think searching by tags is still necessary in the case where we have many tags and using the tag filter feature can be slightly cumbersome? I'm comparing the search feature to applications like stackoverflow where tag search is part of their search bar as well.

2. Include card body in the search? This allows easy search even when keywords or a header are not provided (most likely keywords will be a rarely used feature, used only when the user wants to support search by synonyms or when the body does not have text).

I agree, this will defitnitely improve the search feature greatly and improve the search result as well. Something I have in mind is we could also incoporate text highlighting like our in built search feature to improve user readability.
