Feature request
The search works pretty well in the map. It does not work well in the node explorer. When I search for something that is one folder or more below what I have expanded, I do not see what the search found. See this search for "model", which is inside analysis but also inside visualization/app/codecharta:
I looked around a bit and saw what IntelliJ or Spotlight do and I think we can improve search fundamentally.
Description
As an auditor, I want a new search dialog that clearly shows the search result.
I think the existing node explorer is not the perfect place for the search result, because the node explorer has the tree structure is not so helpful. I checked what IntelliJ does and I think searching for something should open a new dialog that shows only what is matched. It could look like this:
Depending on if the user clicks on a search result, the new dialog would then show either the old node explorer or select the search result in the node explorer:
What do you think?
Acceptance criteria
- Searching for something opens a new search dialog that shows what files are matched
- in the map
- not in the map, because it has no area metric
- in flattened files
- in excluded files
- Selecting something in the new dialog shows the old node explorer again with the element selected
- Pressing enter without selecting something shows the old node explorer again but indicates via color inside which folder the search result is
