Request: Search from root/home page in DTTG

Hello,

Please add a search box to the main/start/root/home screen in DTTG. In the current implementation, I have to go into the Inbox or some other database to initiate a search, which seems silly, since the search can run across all databases.

Ideally the search box would be always visible (rather than requiring a pull-down to show).

Thanks.

Thanks for the thought. This is under consideration but no promises, of course.

I would really like to see a global search function also, although I will say that I prefer the current database search behavior where the user pulls down in the Sidebar to reveal the search field.

I would like to give my wholehearted +1 to this.

Yes, would be great.

I don’t remember when this was added, but it’s been available for a long time :slightly_smiling_face: You just need to pull down for the search box to appear

However, this is also dependent on the device. On an iPad, the search field only appears over the item list, not the sidebar.

Good to know. It’s been a long time since I had an iPad, so I wasn’t aware. (An old iPad 3 that never got to experience DEVONthink).

If in doubt, I would always start with looking in the manual :wink:

Though I’m a diehard Mac guy, I will say DEVONthink To Go on an iPad is amazing with an Apple Pencil IMHO :slight_smile:

It sure looks like it! It is not for lack of want that I don’t have one :smiley: I loved having an iPad, but it broke. And it is not so essential to me that I have been able to justify a new purchase.
