Will McArthur: I know that there's a Most (or last) watched ... but, on the lines of upload 'date' (users might not know the date) so how about 'latest video added'? And/OR updated Playlist (aka new content).

Phillis Benson: I guess there are two things here... Filtering, which would be actually removing results from the Search page. And Sorting, which would be reorganizing the list of results based on the criteria you've listed. I've made a note for another update to introduce sorting by:

Most Watched

New

Trending (Most Watched in Last Week)

Will McArthur: For me, it's basic search terms. I have a dog training membership and for example, if a video is called "puppy training intro" in my membership and someone just types in "training intro", it won't come up. It sees like it has to be the exact wording for the search to work properly & of course most customers wont know the exact names

Paws Up Dogs: Hmm... This to me sounds like a bug. If the term is contained anywhere in the title of the video OR found in the transcription, it should appear in the Hub search results. I have just confirmed this works normally on my end. In your above example, as long as "training intro" is in the title of the video it should show in the results. If you're not experiencing this, please reach out to help@searchie.io so we can get investigating for you :)

Will McArthur: For us Playlists being added to the search results would make a big difference. They would be more important than individual videos since the videos are lessons that make up a course which is the playlist.

Or if, when videos are shown in the search results, we could see which playlists they are a part of so that context can be given to the individual video and the video as a part of the playlist could be chosen ie. when you click on the video you're taken to the video within the context of the playlist rather than straight to the individual video.

Hope that makes sense.

Will McArthur: searching by tag would be so handy. It would be amazing if they could filter out specific tags or checkbox tags to only bring up items that have those particular tags.

User case: We tag play ideas by age, category (like art, literacy etc). It would be amazing if they could go to the search and select checkboxes that brought up videos that were appropriate for the age/tag chosen. Being able to sort the 'tags' for the filtering so we could organise the filters into groups like Age, Category, Video duration etc. Even conditional filters like 'all' and 'any' for those tags if it makes sense. Attaching some screenshots from a site I use to show you what I mean - those 'checkboxes' would be tags I'm assuming.

The other big one which probably doesn't fit into this request - bringing up content that has the search term in the description is very very needed. I make sure my descriptions are keyword rich and add different search terms so that when descriptions are finally searchable, people can find what they need a lot easier.

Casey Patch: Yes- I think descriptions and other text being searchable in the Hub would be great. It's a bit separate but definitely related.

Renae: We have an update in the works for showing which playlist content belongs to as well. It will be separate from this update but it's something else we've been working towards.

Thank you all for this feedback!

Will McArthur:

Several Tags: If we can filter by selecting several tags that would be great. For example one of our tags is 'Presenter' so they could chose that tag plus other topical tags to limit the results. As well as applying the other filter suggestions, which you mentioned, in any combination.

Group Tags: If we could group tags together in a list, which would appear as a heading (eg 'Presenter' tags, or 'Live Events vs Online events' ) that would be super awesome - realise that might be the next phase though.

Limited view: I would love the search results to return all files and some with a 'shaded out/limited/teaser' view if they don't have access (based on audience tag for that file).
