Yes, I've also been missing the "retain search results" functionality that seems to have gone away - often times I'll want to search on and then open a few different objects that match the same search term (like if i'm hunting for JUST the right expression rule but not sure which one it really was) - I just hadn't thought to mention it here. Thanks for bringing it up, and YES please add it to the use case (or as its own use case) 🙂

Hi Mike, thank you for the feedback regarding the search bar. We've heard the similar feedback from other and we are actively looking into restoring access to global search in dialog boxes (Use Case #5553).

We are also looking into other enhancements such as retaining the global search results when you click out of the search bar and retaining global search after you open a new object.

In addition to the global search anywhere, is that something you would find helpful?

Thanks!

Disappointed to note that this has gone unchanged in 22.4 - I'm not clear whether anyone at Appian has seen / cares about the pretty unanimous feedback generated on this post 😞

I'm finding this to be a surprisingly frequent "missed feature" - moreso than I even initially expected - lots of different places where I was accustomed to using it where it's now blocked by having some sort of pop-up interface in the way.

Oof, I just realized another place this prevents global searching is while using the All Process Errors pop-up, which I sometimes spend a lot of time on 😢

Yeah, i'm missing this at the moment. I always liked not having to cancel out of whatever I was in the middle of doing in order to search for and/or open an object (i.e. the whole point of this post lol)

Sorry, gotcha, "..the CTRL-Space hotkey no longer works at all [in some situations]". At any rate, the best part about CTRL+Space is that it works always! (don't have a 22.3 environment here to test on)

Well, that's not what I said, sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

To be clear: It just no longer functions as a "floating" search bar, and thus doesn't work at all when obstructed by one of the pop-up mechanisms I specifically mentioned in my post. But at other times it works fine - but the specific mechanic has been tweaked such that the always-shown search bar is focused when the user presses CTRL-Space. In those cases the overall functionality remains basically unchanged (just ... moved a bit. and with some nice extra detail added).

No CTRL+Space search in 22.3?? Well that is a bummer, I use this daily also :(

One of my biggest use cases is quick checks during meetings, "what is the division logic on that approval", "is the threshold 25 or 30k for that approval" etc. CRTL+Space, and I have the answer within seconds. I will look less smart without this feature...

Got my vote to bring it back!

As an Apple fanboy, I loved the floating search bar. Please bring it back!
