Currently, it’s not possible to search by fields. For instance, we have a Hiring app with Candidates. Two fields: Email, Phone. We can’t use search by these fields. That is super uncomfortable. We have to add email to the card and use CMD+F to find the person. ---

Agree the search needs some love. As I input more and more data in Fibery, not being able to search properly become a very big pain point, one that prevent me to use Fibery with my team, and still as a PoC for now. At minimum: - full text search on all fields: will allow to search in email, url fields at least. Contrary to what stated here [Add filter for "closed" entities in all searches (and/or other indicator of entity status)](https://community.fibery.io/t/add-filter-for-closed-entities-in-all-searches-and-or-other-indicator-of-entity-status/1052) only name and rich text fields seems searchable - filter types: multiple select / deselect types to restrict the search as expressed here [Index comments in search - #2 by JMaynier](https://community.fibery.io/t/index-comments-in-search/1688/2) More advanced: - select which types fields to use search: either global or only once a type has been selected. - full-text search in comments: again allowing to activate/deactivate it - complex filtering (graph oriented): full text search in collections (1 level or several?) of 1 or several entities ([Search Scoping - "Search within Collection" - #3 by Jean](https://community.fibery.io/t/search-scoping-search-within-collection/2095/3)) - save some filtering settings as default: at least the deselection of certains types (for example the types used for attributes on relations) or exclude some entities based on fields value (typical example is workflow status closed [Add filter for "closed" entities in all searches (and/or other indicator of entity status) - #9 by Simon\_JB](https://community.fibery.io/t/add-filter-for-closed-entities-in-all-searches-and-or-other-indicator-of-entity-status/1052/9)) Analytical search: - multiple search term/values based on field: boolean logic on fields search (a la Elasticsearch.

I had a similar issue. Coming from Jira where the search language is quite robust, I was wondering about how to construct filters/searches in fibery that look into the activity history of an item. For example this would be a JQL query I might use to find issues completed by particular people within the last 2 weeks. `status changed from ("in progress", "open") to (done) by (604a0d4d2b3f9a006a5202f6, 6170774bb9c549006f7c7562) after startOfWeek(-2) ORDER BY priority DESC` I see how to construct filters in fibery based on current field values or dates, but not on past activity data. ---

@mdubakov @Polina_Zenevich do you have any updates or plans about the search? That is very important feature when you have many records. Our HR asks every week when we can do a search by email or other fields in the “CRM”. ---

So far we can’t provide any estimate unfortunately. Can HR use filter for this case? It will work quite good ---

> [@JMaynier](#): > > full text search on all fields: This would be a great help. I appreciate nothing is simple 😉. We had a similar issue in some of the systems we build for customers. To address this, before adding something into the index we **munged** together the text fields into a new indexable field. This meant that the index can be searched for any text. ---
