Feature: homepage quick launch aka search

Open shamoon opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

I made a thing! Its a "quick launcher"? aka global search of all services & bookmarks, triggered by just typing on the page. Its very simple but as a result its fast AF. Im sure I missed some things in here but overall pretty happy with this. Appreciate any feedback / tweaks. Video is all keyboard =)

Edit:

  • A way to bring this up on mobile, or keep it desktop only?
  • Should we search / include descriptions?
  • ~~Prioritization?~~
    • Edit: uses same order as services/bookmarks config, I think thats good
  • ~~Highlighting?~~

Good question! I think you'd need to pull the repo but its pretty easy if you want to try.

Regarding including descriptions, curious on people's thoughts. I have an (uncommitted) change that:

  • searches the description and shows highlighting only in the description to make it apparent why that result is included
  • prioritizes name matches ahead of description matches

See screenshot, again, would love to hear what people think 🙂 Screen Shot 2022-10-19 at 3 25 07 PM

This looks really nice Im going to pull this branch and try it out! I like it showing the description, but I don't know how I feel about it also searching the description.

Thanks! 😊 Yea I think I agree, I added them without searching, for now.

I did try it and I think it works great, would love to have this. Once I used it a little I found myself missing it =)

Perhaps searching descriptions could be a setting, though only if many would use it (I dont think I would)

Okey-dokey I added an option for searching descriptions (defaults to off), e.g.

quicklaunch:
    searchDescriptions: true

and everybody wins =)

(note the first three items stay higher on the list because they matched the actual name)

Yes I think this is a good solution for all. Hope to have this feature soon very soon!
