Suggestions to improve the Find All search

Open dalb8 opened this issue 2 weeks ago • 0 comments

I find the general, Find All, search to be awkward. It can only be accessed after initiating a find-in-page search. The only way to go progressively through the results is to open the menu again and tap Find All again and it is easy to lose track of which entries one has already looked at.

My entries are rather short and I would never need to search within the entry.

Two possibilities for improvement: 1. either get rid of search-within-an-entry 2. keep search, rename it "find in page" (as seems to be customary) and add a separate menu entry for Find all.

In both cases have buttons in the action bar for going back and forward (not to be confused with previous and next day). The results page for Find all should not be a dialog because one needs to be able to get back to the list of results quickly. The date should be included in the action bar, perhaps below the name of the activity. Also the Up navigation should (generally) lead back to the list of results.
