[UI Shell Enhancement] Add SideNav search capability to reduce time to find the menus &/or menu items #17643

Open fbarroso24 opened 2 weeks ago

[Real world scenario] So many menu (e.g. SideNavMenu) & subsequent menu items (e.g. SideNavMenuItems) that it becomes hard for the end user to find what they are looking for (see example below) Image

This results in user frustration & time lost when trying to find the correct menu item.

Having a search field would reduce time to find the menu item they need. Here is a mock up Image

Image

It would seem the search field would have to be at the SideNav component level in order to filter out the SideNavMenu & SideNavMenuItems. However, I'll leave the implementation details to the Carbon team.
