Feature Request: Dedicated email filter for contacts
Along the same line as https://github.com/inboxapp/inbox/issues/126, for our use case we only care about a subset of a user's inbox. Regarding contacts, it would be great if there was a dedicated email filter to do e.g. /[email protected],[email protected]
which would return all contact objects that match those emails. The filter
parameter, while I can see its power in full text search for a single parameter, isn't as useful when one has a list of emails addresses already. Even allowing multiple query strings to filter
would suffice e.g. [email protected],[email protected],John Doe
.
Edit: after some discussion, not as important as I thought it'd be for our purposes now (just going to pull all contacts), but I'll leave it open in case future users feel strongly about it.
We really want to solve this with a (future) search API. Multiple query strings are good, but users often actually want to do much more complex queries.
