| Summary | 0019900: Contextual search | ||||
| Description | MMA's search functionality is currently always Global, meaning: a) there's no way to restrict search functionality to the current Top Level Node (e.g. Classical Music) b) there's no way to restrict search functionality to the current Node (e.g. Music > Acoustic Rock) c) there's no way to find a track within the current view (most often needed for the Playing Queue and for Playlists) MMW offers these functions via Toggles, however, this would be too onerous for phones. A possible approach would be to use the dropdown that currently appears upon entering a search term to trigger alternate approaches. e.g. If the user initiates a search and types 'Fur' without pressing 'Enter', three suggested searches would appear as dropdowns: - Search Globally - Search Music - If the active view is a Playlist or a Playing Queue: Find in list Once the user presses 'Enter', a global search is initiated, and it would return results in a view grouped by attribute. e.g. Artists [image] Artist 1 [image] Artist 2 Album Artists [image] Album Artist 1 [image] Album Artist 2 Albums [image] Album 1 [image] Album 2 Tracks [I a e] . Title . . . [Rating] [ m g ] . Artist . . . <time> I think that this approach would preserve almost all of the existing functionality except for real-time search updates in the dropdown, but would gain more useful functions in return. | ||||
