New search

Over the last few months, we've been balancing our work on the Page Builder itself (see our spring cleaning efforts) with work on rebuilding our document list screen.

This stream of work is important in enabling us to release some highly requested features (improving our search....more on this in a moment) as well as taking the opportunity to align the experience of the document list with the improved design and UX of the Page Builder.

So where are we at?

Right now we are putting the finishing touches on releasing our new search. Under the hood, we are using a new search engine and database which should improve performance. With the UI and UX the first major change we are making is on how we prioritise search results. We have countless feedback from our users that our current search can be confusing and doesn't return the results we are looking for. As part of our first release, the new search will boost the document name in the results. So, if you have a page named Prismic New Search and you search based on this page name, you can expect it to be at the top of the results.

We are also making some changes to how we present the search, moving away from having to trigger actions within the document list but rather having a modal you can use. We hope in the future to be able to use this search modal in the context of a page as well.

The other items we are working on the document list relate to bringing existing features from the old document list to our new document list. Currently, we are re-working the bulk actions and the releases screen.

The goal is to release the new document list with the new search before the end of the quarter as well as the eagerly anticipated Team Spaces feature
