Feature request: Improve search

Open jrhbcn opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

I think it would be more intuitive if the basic search box does a search through all the fields (titles,authors,series,etc.) and then in the advanced search you can really separate the search in fields. It seems right now the basic search box only searches in titles. It would also be nice to add more fields to the advanced search (language, summary and personal notes).

Furthermore, search should not consider accentuated letters so "traición" also finds "traicion".

Again, thanks for making Jelu available for all! Please feel completely free to ignore all my requests. ;)

I totally agree about accentuated letters, I just need to have a look at sqlite collations.

Adding additional search fields is ok too.

I'm just worried about searching the whole database by default when performing a quick search, I fear that performance would take a huge hit.

But I'll make tests with my database and see what the impacts are.

It's now possible to search most of the fields with multiples combinations using FTS.

Docs here : https://bayang.github.io/jelu-web/usage/search/

Starting with v0.41.0
