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 covered Top Nav & In-App Search for Pages & Assets apps MGNLPER-166

This epic covers Phase 2. Content App in-app search, and choosers

With the goal of bringing consistency to the Search Experience within Magnolia; the new SearchX functionality and UI improvements will:

• Bring In-App search to Content Apps 
• Align SearchX and UI improvements to the search within Chooser dialogs:
  • Pages chooser
  • Assets chooser
  • Content (e.g. Tours) chooser

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
