I wanted to request one feature of search that I don’t think is possible right now, and would greatly help my team day-to-day.

Right now, if you click in the search box one of the databases in your instance:

 ![image.jpeg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/0/0e20148d39bba2dfab4e5d35ac98120c26ed8ac7.png)

You will only see a short list of “recent” results in that db. There is no info as to how “recent” those results are - were they viewed a week ago, a month ago?

The thing is, these lists are short, and usually when I click one of those database types, I only get a few of these “recent” results. This is usually not useful because when I click a database type to search on, I would like to see as many of those entities in that db as I can, at least the whole page of search results extending down the window.

I understand that there may be some desire in the design of search to prevent just displaying an entire db’s worth of entities if there are 1000’s of them in a db. On the other hand, the way it is set up now is pretty useless if I want to quickly search for say “tasks.” I’m bringing this up because a few people on my team intuitively search this way.

There is very closely related to @Matt_Blais 's great post [here](https://community.fibery.io/t/search-allow-search-by-entity-url/3052)

> **2)** Search scoping  
> **3)** Better index coverage, so we could e.g. include (part of) the Project Name when searching for a Task, to narrow the results.  
> **4)** Bonus points for intelligently ranking search results by “proximity” (or some similar metric) and displaying the reason for each search result’s position (e.g. “Same Project as current entity”).

which I think entail many distinct features, all needed, and I’m adding another one now with this request.

Thanks for the consideration!

Consistency FTW! peacock Expand relation Views Now that you can visualize to-many relations not just with Lists but with (almost) all kinds of Views, it won’t hurt to open them in full screen: [expand-relation-board] It’s much more comfortable to work with a large Board or Timeline View having this extra space. …
