I’m requesting to allow users to set “Include Finished” false by default.

When this is enabled it also shows finished items, as well as other items that have been specifically excluded from Search, which clutters the search results.

I think we should have the ability to set it to this by default OR it just saves our last selection.

Last selection sounds good

Can you elaborate on this. What are you seeing in search results that should be excluded?

Items that have been excluded from search altogether are showing when Include Finished is enabled.

That being said, earlier, it was showing about 5 of these for the same search so maybe this is a bug or it takes time to index in Fibery?

Either way, I think “save the last selection” would be a great update.

It looks like a bug, we will check
