Hi @cambardell. I would like to work on this if @EcMscS isn't working on implementing his suggestions.
Thanks for your suggestion @EcMscS! I'm not sure this is an ideal solution. One general search bar has the benefit of simplicity, you can just start typing any of the three parameters and get results. A potential solution is a button next to the search bar that opens a more advanced search screen. What does everyone think?
Having a second search screen would make the experience too complex in my opinion, as would having category wise search results. One way around this is adding sort/ filter options in the navigation bar. We can add a filter button just like the + button, on the leading edge of the screen.
A second screen is definitely too complex. I was thinking more like a button that expands the search bar to multiple fields, just so they're hidden by default.
@cambardell: Also the behavior of the search looks weird, there should also be some UI improvements. I can help here if needed
Sure @Drag0ndust, can you open a separate issue for improving search UI? Then I'll assign you.
@cambardell I have created an issue for the search improvement (#63)
