Data panel Search behavior

[TrophySmackWiz]

Search doesn't include ALL designs with the search string.

This is still here. It's not really an effective search if you can't search in the middle of a longer string.

I do not see this issue in my searches.  Maybe it is the number throwing it off?

Rename something 4567fly and watch it disappear from your "fly" search results.

Search in the data panel uses tokenization to break up the names by using characters like dashes ("-") and spaces (" ").  So if your files were named like "4-Finger..." or "4 Finger..." the data panel would return to you as expected.  Some improvements have been made in the Home Tab in recent releases of Fusion that would allow for the contains search as you expect.

I understand that from a server side data handling standpoint that makes a ton of sense.

From a end user perspective it's completely stupid.

Here's a situation. Company internally classifies projects and prefixes them with some code. "A1CProject"

User typos "AqCProject" the code when in a rush trying to get out the door Friday for beer.

Searching for project will return no results. searching for a1c won't ever find the typoed thing. The dir structure would need to be sifted through  manually.

Yes, recent might show up (i've already /bugged the docs not showing up in recent until you exit and restart fusion, not certain if it got fixed yet.)

Regardless id someone forgets a space or an underscore or another delimiter or typoes the search becomes worthless.

In a perfect world it'd support full RegEx style searches, but I'd call that a feature request personally.

Here's an example I found today where search fails even for the first word of the model name. I've got the model open, but you can see that search returns nothing:

Seems bad!

This is exactly why I feel RegEx style search should be the standard for the search behavior.
