  I'm used to being able to search for sub-files and sub-folders from one particular folder at the filesystem level. This is one my nuisances for Firefox. It has a global search but not a search from one particular folder and its child folders.

  I'm not certain how that interface could be implemented for PetBattle Teams, but it may be worthy of some discussion.

  If ticket 100 (Teams based on pet trainer) were implemented, and this search feature was also implemented, then there could be additional enhancements:

  • The search box has a a small dropdown arrow to its right
  • If clicked, a dropdown box would appear with "pet trainers".
  • It would have a checkbox next to it.
  • If checked, then searches would only apply to the list of pet trainers (names and locations) and their teams.

  I believe this feature would could have additional complexity and could be discussed at length later.

  If this was implemented, ticket 94 (folders) (if implemented) would benefit from searching.

  So if I have a folder called "foo" with arbitrary teams within it, I could search for "foo" and get the folder name (but not its contained teams) as a search result.

  If this was implemented, ticket 96 (team notes) (if implemented) would benefit from searching.

  An idea for use would be

  • The user types arbitrary text into a text area
  • The list of teams is filtered down so that only matches are displayed.
  • The selects one of the teams in that filtered list
  • The filter is removed, the full list of teams is displayed
  • The selected team remains selected
  • The list of teams is scrolled so that the selected team is roughly in the middle of the list of teams

  There would be an annoyance with the above if the arbitrary text were cleared in order to display the list of teams. Perhaps

  • don't empty that field but require the user press enter to search.
    • i.e. don't "search while typing".
  • The user could then type arbitrary text
  • press enter to see the filtered list
  • interact with the filtered list and then the full team list
  • and then return to the text box
    • to adjust the arbitrary text
    • or press enter again to get the team list.
