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

We will look at Usability and bring in a more intuitive workflow that will enable editors to find and manage relevant content in a seamless and efficient way.

Phase 1. This epic covers Top Navigation changes, In-App Search for Pages & Assets apps

As an author I search for a known item but I am working with big data sets, and I want to be able to find in-app content faster in a tree structure

• In-App full-text search for Pages and Assets
• Bring in Filtering and Sorting options for In-App search
• Improve hierarchy by applying User-based ranking to In-App search
• The performance of In-App search is improved, not slow

• Pages App  | Ability to Filter Pages App by domain
• Assets App | Remove thumbnail view mode for Assets App

Phase 2 MGNLPER-211 will cover Content App in-app search & choosers

Phase 3 MGNLPER-210 will cover Global Search results

Overarching improvements of SearchX

• Seamless results if you search in Global vs In-App
• Improved information hierarchy, legibility, and other usability enhancements when showing results
• Provide meaningful and seamless information in the tables' columns for consistency
• "Go back where I left" Ability to go back to my search results, rather than starting from scratch
• Display path/URL to help identify the right item
