4 years agoMe too. Search feels fundamentally broken.
I switch between 2 macs with a kvm switch as I work. One has V8.7 installed, the other V7.9. The old version has substring search and it works as you type. For one client I have a few entries for things like devshopv2 and liveshopv2. To find those I just type shopv2. They are both super easy to find on V7 and do not come up at all in V8. No results as I type, and nothing when I ask it to give me all the results. I'm not looking for fuzzy search that can handle phonetics or misspellings. Searching based on substring(not just first letters) feels like table stakes.
The new search just isn't very good. And they way I'm organized is based on using 1P for years. Whatever engine the new search is based on is not good at all. None of my clients would put up with a search that works that way on a website.
On my new mac I'm going to try downloading and installing V7. If it runs I'll use that as long as it's functional or V8 gets fixed.
