Happy Hump Day.

Identifying what members are frequently searching for is an important job for community managers. Built directly into the statistics panel of your ACP is a section that includes the most-searched-for keywords. Understanding what people search for helps you:

• Improve upon those items
• Create more content around the term(s)
• Provide further clarity for people who search for the word or phrase in the future

Because of the importance of search, we made some major improvements!

You may have noticed Invision Community introduced an update to our Search Bar user interface. @AlexJ certainly did 😜.
 

 

Previously, the search bar was smaller in size and included different options that could be confusing at first glance.

We've simplified the search experience. Should the user want to drill in further, they have that option on the search results page:
 

 

Go ahead and give our new search UI a test drive. Feel free to share your findings / thoughts in the comments. 😃 🔍

See you in the comments. 
 

Its a search bar. enough said.

I like the simplicity. Is there a way to re-arrange the order or does that go by apps order? It would also be great if there was a custom search to add lets say a downloads category, specifically.

It's too wide and takes longer to search by title now.

Don't say it.

awesome.. hope you update the navigation design aswell

thanks

@Jordan Miller thanks for this very useful implementation!

This modification is very convenient and useful, especially because it allows you, if you want to search ONLY in the section you are in, not to have to select it from the advanced search.
There is only one thing I do not understand, such as email this option (to search ONLY in the topic or in the section where you are and then, everywhere) was only implemented for the desktop version and not for those who surf with smartphones ??
In practice, those who use the smartphone and are in a certain section always have to look for what interests you everywhere? It's strange don't you think?
