I’d like to share a suggestion to improve the search functionality (accessed via CMD+K shortcut) based on my comparative experience with Notion.
Current issue:
-
When using the search in Fibery, the list of recent items includes any item or view I’ve navigated to (full history), making the list less useful for quickly finding what I need.
-
When I start typing to search for something, Fibery won’t help me listing entities prioritized by what I searched or visited previously within the search constraints
Example: When typing part of a name (e.g., “com”), the results include many unrelated or irrelevant items, forcing me to manually filter by entity type.
This is particularly problematic when trying to access a specific whiteboard that I know the name of - I have to sift through several unrelated results.
Improvement suggestion:
Implement a smarter search system similar to Notion that:
1. Shows recently searched and navigated items instead of history of navigation.
See the example below of what Notion does…this is the empty state of the search…it’s listing my last visits via searches, not the full history of navigation.
2. Prioritizes results by:
- “Most visited” by the user
- “Most viewed” in the workspace
This will help me find what I want faster, without having to filter every time by specific entities or views
In Notion, when I hit CMD+K, it will show up the list of recent entities that I searched for and navigated to it. I find myself finding faster what I want because of that. It will usually already show in the recent items what I want.
Benefit:
This improvement would save time and reduce friction in the workflow, allowing users to find frequently accessed items more quickly without needing to manually refine the search.
