We intend to modify the search functionality in the new MFE such that:
All searches are initiated from the search bar located next to the Add Post button.
Search button searches:
In post title and content when
All Posts
andMy Posts
tab is selected.In topics when
Topcis
tab is selected.In usernames when
Learners
tab is selected.

After rollout of 1.7, will we search 3rd level of hierarchy? How will those results be rendered? This is an open question that Jonathan and I are working on. As of now, we haven’t rolled out 1.7 yet. So the objective is to replicate exactly what is being done in legacy experience. In legacy experience, as per Kshitij, all topics are being loaded on the frontend and searched there. |
