All elements should appear in search results

Open marcrohloff opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I think that it would be helpful if, when you search for something like textarea the paper-textarea does not show up in the results. paper-input does but if you go to that page by chance then you have to look carefully to find the paper-textarea component. There are other examples like this such as app-location. I think that search should display all elements, not just the top level ones.

It would also be nice to include these elements in the list of all elements. I learn a lot about an API just by looking through lists like these.

Ah, yep. The implementation works such that paper-input at least shows up because it contains paper-textarea, but we have no UI for showing this.

@dstockwell: would it be possible to add it to brief metadata? Seems like it might impact search performance a lot.

I think this is probably a bigger feature. We'll want to figure out how to create index entries for individual elements.
