• v3

  • I can limit my search results based on the query that I have typed into the search bar, either by free text query or by applying the term to a filter - screenshot

  • I can specify which field I want my search term to apply to e.g. search within a custom attribute "unit" for "milligrams". - Not currently available

  • I can search for content using exact matches e.g. using quotation marks. - Screenshot (does not currently work)

  • I can navigate individual concepts without losing my search context (i.e. independent left- and right-side panels). - GIF

  • I can select search results to do multiple actions: compare, clone, add to repo, download content metadata, and other actions - Screenshot

  • I can change the sort order of the results to view by Updated Date instead of Best Match. - Screenshot

  • I can get brief insights about repos, users, or owners, such as number of concepts, number of owned repositories, version history, etc. - Not currently available

• Unsure

  • I can share my search results with others via a URL or other method. - Screenshot

  • I can narrow down my search results to content that I follow, to content that is "trusted", reference content, etc., and to FHIR-enabled content. - Not currently available

• After v3

  • I can preview and navigate the hierarchy and mappings of concepts when I find them in the search results. - Screenshot

  • I can download the list of search results that I have found. - Screenshot

Thinking more broadly, we have many places throughout the app where we display search results (both flat and hierarchical) or where a user is selecting a resource that is based on a search of OCL. These are different, but related behaviors that should be standardized. I started to capture below, but I'm sure that I still missed many.

Regular search results:

• Global Search: concepts, mappings, orgs, users, sources, collections
• Org-level: Sources, Collections, Members
• User Profile: Sources, Collections, Orgs
• Repo-level search: Concepts, Mappings, References, Versions, Expansions

Less-regular search results:

• Clone to Source / Add to Collection (from selection in global or repo search results):
  • We have a custom view for Clone and no view of results in Add to collection, but these are still just search/cascade results
• Concept Details:
  • Associations Panel (this is simply cascade results with no recursion)
• Collection Details:
  • Add Reference: Search Concepts
  • Add Reference: Find a Source/Collection
• Concept Diff page (e.g. mappings)

Search-like behavior:

• Select a resource by searching in a text box:
  • Concept Create/Edit Form:
  • Parent Concept URLs
  • Owner & Source
  • Mapping Create/Edit Form:
  • From/To Concept (which could populate several fields, including URL, Name, Code)
  • From/To Source URL
  • From/To Source Version
  • Owner & Source
• Select a resource from a drop-down list that is populated by a source/collection in OCL:
  • Concept Create/Edit Form:
  • Concept Class
  • Datatype
  • Locale
  • Name & Description Type
  • Mapping Create/Edit Form:
  • Map Type
