Add Comma operator when searching channels while creating groups #11133

Feature description

The workflow of creating channel groups at the moment is very slow, especially if your subscription list is too big. I propose implementation of using ','s in the search bar when creating channel groups which shall return all comma separated channels.

The current flow is to search a channel from a large list which takes some load on the app and add it after results are processed, then to again search individually for other channels to be added.

Additionally, partial keyword matching as discussed below with real-time results would greatly be appreciated for enhancements!

Why do you want this feature?

For enhancing the tedious workflow of creating channel groups in cases of a long subscription list.

Are you thinking of partial searches being accepted as well? e.g. in your images, searching just ipp, john to get these and possibly more results.

Sure why not, seems like the way to go. I haven't looked at the code base but real-time results would be even better but it's okay if not feasible
