As we accumulate more and more DIs, it's becoming tricky to check whether someone has already written a given DI.
Proposed solution
Expand the search on https://admin.owid.io/admin/gdocs to include the body of gdocs, not just the title. Possibly filtering by topic would be helpful too.
Alternatives
We currently can search the body via datasette, e.g. here. But the way we present datasette is not very friendly for those who are unfamiliar to it. A cheap solution would be to just make a slightly nicer table with this use case in mind (i.e. with hyperlinks directly to the preview...), with topic tags as a column you can filter by and then pin this in the #data-insights slack channel.
Context
The current search in admin applies only to titles, so you have to think of many synonyms if you want to check that no one has written about the thing you're thinking about.
Here is a better datasette query: that allows you to filter by topic and search for a string within the body (markdown), now including both published, scheduled and draft DIs.
