Plots2: Explore how to organize search results ( Notes, Wikis, and Questions )

[milaaraujo]

Explore a combined display of Notes, Wikis, and Questions since they are all Node types: https://publiclab.org/search/balloon.

This would prevent some duplicated results because sometimes the user searches for a query that is a Note AND a question. I think we could unify them all by calling a single method find_nodes.

Hi @milaaraujo am interested on working on this. Could this involve adding an All button that displays all the matched nodes? Thanks

[milaaraujo]

Hey @cesswairimu,

Yes, I think adding an All button would be a good idea!

Then depending on the quality of the returned results, we can think about removing Notes, Wikis, and Questions individual searches and use just All - as @stefannibrasil suggested. What do you think, @jywarren and @stefannibrasil?

[stefannibrasil]

That was the first idea, yeah!

My only concern is that we would have an 'All' button for notes, but we also have other results that aren't nodes, like Profiles and Tags:

Maybe use Notes, Profiles, Tags? Like this:

Then we would need to update the categories as well, but that's a second part. What do you all think? Like

[jywarren]

Maybe we can say "all pages" or "All content"? Since people and tags aren't
really content. Could that work? We could display text under that adds more
detail, like "all notes, wikis and questions that match"

I like the idea of making this tab first but waiting to see if it's nice
before thinking about removing the more specific tabs.

Thanks all!
