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. [GitHub - elastic/search-ui: Search UI. Libraries for the fast development of modern, engaging search experiences.](https://github.com/elastic/search-ui))
