Multiple search behavior in Contacts
- /e/ version: 0.19-q
- Device model(s):h850
Summary
Contacts app has two default search settings. Similar behavior and search results are to be awaited.
Description
What is the current behavior?
One search function (call it main) can be reached from the main screen and extends search to Company, title, label (and maybe other) fields.
The second search function (call it group) is located under Any label/Group > Add contacts to label (icon) > search icon. This search is restricted to the Name fields only. Also important: search is restricted for the account the label is created in.
What is the improved behavior?
The search within the app at any place is consistent, gives the same search results, or filters on field is of offered to reduce the number of the results. The group search should not be restricted to individual accounts.
What does it bring?
UX consistency. Same search results within the app.
Examples
I wished to group/label some contacts together.
I searched for "yoga class" written into the title field to multiple contacts. The main search gave all the expected items. I was not able to pour the results to a new or existing group/label.
I selected the existing label "Yoga" and tried to add new contacts. The group search did not search within the Title field so, I was not able to select/search for the appropriate contacts.
