Improved Search in Launch

[#1]

Description

Currently, the search in Launch is barely useful, since it returns a very fluffy set of results, that quite often do not help finding what you are looking for.

Quite often, the results just show a "... more" in the results list, but without actually giving you a chance to find what you are looking for.

This leads to developers rather not changing any DE names once in use to not break anything.

It would be awesome to be able to have more search features like

• "exact match"
• "regex match"
• case sensitive yes/no
• etc.

Also, a optional dedicated search detail page that lists all the other results would be great! Ideally with a preview of the match.

Out of this need, external tools like the "Perpetua Digital Launch Assistant" are being developed, just addressing these shortcomings.

Why is this feature important to you

Everybody knows you cannot just rename data element in Launch without potentially breaking things. Hence, whenever I want to rename a DE, I

• open the website first and search for any occurrenced of the DE in the rendered Launch library, to get a clearer picture where to start digging
• go back to Launch and rename there based on my findings

Essentially, I never use the Launch search feature.

How would you like the feature to work

• more search options as described above
• a dedicated search page that lists all results

Current Behaviour

• it is hard to find what you are looking for
• depending on the search term, many "other..."  results
• fluffy search, returning false positives that do return results that do not match the search term

I would love to see more advanced search in tags UI, it will definitely be a very useful enhancement.

Cheers!
