Bring back the old search functionality, please! (Even tough I know you won't)

Hey folks, a few updates here on the search feature, including some points which you've touched on here and a little extra besides 👋

1. We have introduced a revamped approach to substring matching in a recent Nightly build (80901013). If you haven't tried it yet, we'd love to have your impressions of it! 😃
2. We have an open feature request for an option to make "Show All Matching Items" the default, if you prefer that experience. I have added votes on behalf of everyone in this thread who has expressed a preference for seeing all results by default.

We're going to be taking feedback on the new substring implementation going forward, and especially want to know things like:

• Are you now finding the thing(s) you're looking for?
• Are you encountering any bugs or unexpected weirdness with search?
• Any suggestions on how the experience could be further improved for you from here?

(I'd also be curious to know if you find find to still be useful, given the revamped approach to the main search feature now).

Regarding future releases: the current Nightly search feature will be going through a substantial amount of testing internally here before a Production release. We want to make sure it's super solid and performing optimally and predictably. User feedback will be an important part of that process too.

We will likewise continue to iterate on the search feature as a whole, and look for ways to make it maximally useful and relevant to you. That will likely be an ongoing process. 👍

Thanks for the ideas, suggestions, and critiques. I hope you find this revision a benefit to your experience. Best regards from our team! 😄
