find commands filters all list #883

Open nus-pe-bot opened 2 years ago

nus-pe-bot commented 2 years ago

trying to use the different find commands, filters all list regardless which list I am trying to filter.

For example, I am trying to filter friends using the findp command but it filters all the other list as well.

The feature would be more optimal if the find command only filter list which is filtering for.

Take a look at our User Guide's sections on the find commands: Screenshot 2021-11-15 at 3.44.48 PM.png Screenshot 2021-11-15 at 3.45.31 PM.png

The behaviour described is intentional to facilitate filtering comprehensively. We think it's more optimal for all lists to be filtered so that users, when searching for one entity (Person/CCA/Reminder) can see associated entities that they are likely to be interested in as well. In doing this, we are empowering locality of interest, a known phenomenon observed in user behaviours.
