Search Results Presentation

1 Initial Problem

The presentation of search results is outdated. The clarity of the search results suffers from this. In order to improve the usability, the existing elements are to be transferred to KS components. In addition, the displayed information will be discussed so that search results are more clearly structured and understandable.

Search Result Presentation

• Consider list as an alternative format to replace the table presentation. 
• Consider information presented
  • "Last Update" would be more pertinent than "Created On" however it cannot be known because of changes in mediapools / content snippets and linked objects. This should be abandonned. 
  • "Relevance" makes users wonder and ist visually very prominent. This should no longer be presented. 
• What sorting mechanisms would be helpful? Consider a view control offering relevance as sortation criterion.
• What purpose does the action menu serve? 
• Consider list as an alternative format to replace the table presentation. 

2 Conceptual Summary

Each individual search result ist displayed as an individual item.

• Each item carries an icon of the found object. 
• The item is comprised of a linked Title, the text snippet is presented in the description.
• Properties are
  • Comprised in encompassing object
  • Path
  • Created on

4 Technical Information

The search results presentation get checked via "access".

9 Discussion

Engländer, Ferdinand [fenglaender], 14 March 2022: Are there any decisions or plans yet which UI compenent will be used to display a search result item? Or will a new UI component be developed that could take slightly different appearances depending on the nature and requirements of an individual item?

10 Implementation

{ The maintainer has to give a description of the final implementation and add screenshots if possible. }
