Description

Currently, the Global search is perceived as slow by editors and marketers who want to find relevant content fast. It also returns a limited range of results which slow down your ability to find the content you are looking for.

With these improvements, we want to:

• Make search faster by removing ranking
• (Replace with) Show the most recently visited items

Currently solution "Many customers exclude the ranking to avoid issues"
