[DONE] Index comments in search

[B_Sp]

Hi, since this is a big need of my team, and others have mentioned it, and there is no explicit request for it, I am creating it now.

Right here @mdubakov mentions that the team wants to collect more feedback about it, so hopefully this post is an opportunity for them to see the specific support for this outside of various mentions & commentary in other non-dedicated threads.

@mdubakov

There is no search in comments (so far at least, we’ll collect more feedback and think about it).

I’d also like to put in a plug for this request:

Refer to Comments, and Public ID’s for Comments

Hi guys, I wanted to add another request around Comments: As I have discussed around here, my team heavily relies on Comments in Fibery. Often in light of the great linking around Fibery, I find myself instinctively trying to link to a comment. So I wanted to request that Comments be surfaced as “referable items” like Docs and Views, alongside Entities. I’d also like to add that it would be very useful if each Comment had its own visible Public ID. Some tools such as Clubhouse.io have that …

This is something you can do in Clubhouse.io and it’s very useful.

Comments are a huge piece in any collaboration app, and I really hope we can get some first-class improvements in them soon.

Thanks!

We have this feature in our backlog, your feedback was added into it. Thanks! We do consider to implement it in near future.

Thanks, great to hear Michael, we are one team that really needs it! And gets you ahead of Notion, Coda, AirTable - none of them do this!

Implemented in latest release

July 13, 2023 / Icons for Entities, search comments, better markdown import

Pick a custom icon for any Entity [entity-icons-competitors-no-header] Add emoji icons for Entities of tag-like Databases like Category, Status, or Team to make your workspace shine: [select-entity-icon] Many of you (and us!) have already put emojis in names. Now we’ve made sure the icons look alright throughout Fibery: in relations, search, history, etc. Icons are especially useful when you use regular Databases in place of Select Fields (e.g. to share Status between Stories an…
